tlbuild: tlmgr EXAMPLES
B.4 EXAMPLES
============
After successfully installing TeX Live, here are a few common operations
with 'tlmgr':
'tlmgr option repository ctan'
'tlmgr option repository http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet'
Tell 'tlmgr' to use a nearby CTAN mirror for future updates; useful
if you installed TeX Live from the DVD image and want to have
continuing updates. The two commands are equivalent; 'ctan' is
just an alias for the given url.
Caveat: 'mirror.ctan.org' resolves to many different hosts, and
they are not perfectly synchronized; we recommend updating only
daily (at most), and not more often. You can choose a particular
mirror if problems; the list of all CTAN mirrors with the status of
each is at <https://ctan.org/mirrors/mirmon>.
'tlmgr update --list'
Report what would be updated without actually updating anything.
'tlmgr update --all'
Make your local TeX installation correspond to what is in the
package repository (typically useful when updating from CTAN).
'tlmgr info' _what_
Display detailed information about a package _what_, such as the
installation status and description, of searches for _what_ in all
packages.
For all the capabilities and details of 'tlmgr', please read the
following voluminous information.
