The TeXLive Local Manager
is a utility
provided by Firmicus
which allows to conveniently manage a TeX Live installation on Arch Linux.

{{AUR|texlive-localmanager-git}}
is a utility which allows to conveniently manage a TeX Live installation on Arch Linux. See [

See
{{AUR|texlive-localmanager-git}} in the

+
−
+
−
Usage
:
tllocalmgr
+
−
tllocalmgr [options] [command] [args]
+
−
+
−
Running tllocalmgr alone starts the TeXLive local manager shell
+
−
for Arch Linux
.
This shell is capable of command-line completion!
+
−
There you can look at the available updates with the command 'status'
+
−
and you can install individual CTAN packages using 'install' or 'update'
+
−
under $TEXMFLOCAL
.
This is done by creating a package
texlive-
local-<pkg>
+
−
and installing it with pacman
.
Note that this won’t interfere with your
+
−
standard texlive installation, but files under $TEXMFLOCAL will take
+
−
precedence.
+
−
+
−
Here are the commands available in the shell:
+
−
+
−
Commands:
+
−
status -- Current status of TeXLive installation
+
−
shortinfo * -- Print a one-liner description of CTAN packages
+
−
info * -- Print info on CTAN packages
+
−
update * -- Locally update CTAN packages
+
−
install * -- Locally install new CTAN packages
+
−
installdoc * -- Locally install documentation of CTAN packages
+
−
installsrc * -- Locally install sources of CTAN packages
+
−
listfiles * -- List all files in CTAN packages
+
−
search * -- Search info on CTAN packages
+
−
searchfiles * -- Search for files in CTAN packages
+
−
texhash -- Refresh the TeX file database
+
−
clean -- Clean local build
tree
+
−
help -- Print helpful information
+
−
quit -- Quit
tllocalmgr
+
−
+
−
The commands followed by * take one of more package names as arguments.
+
−
Note that these can be completed automatically by pressing TAB.
+
−
+
−
You can also run tllocalmgr as a standard command-line program, with
+
−
one of the above commands as argument, then the corresponding task will
+
−
be performed and the program will exit (except when the command is 'status').
+
−
+
−
tllocalmgr accepts the following options:
+
−
+
−
Options: --help Shows this help
+
−
--version Show the version number
+
−
--forceupdate Force updating the TeXLive database
+
−
--skipupdate Skip updating the TeXLive database
+
−
--localsearch Search only installed packages
+
−
--location

+
−
--mirror CTAN mirror to use (default is mirror

ctan.org)
