R: Run the TeX Live Manager

tlmgr {tinytex}

R Documentation

Run the TeX Live Manager

Description

Execute the tlmgr command to search for LaTeX packages, install packages, update packages, and so on.

Usage

tlmgr(args = character(), usermode = FALSE, ..., .quiet = FALSE)

tlmgr_search(what, file = TRUE, all = FALSE, global = TRUE, word = FALSE, ...)

tlmgr_install(pkgs = character(), usermode = FALSE, path = !usermode && os != "windows")

tlmgr_remove(pkgs = character(), usermode = FALSE)

tlmgr_update(all = TRUE, self = TRUE, more_args = character(), usermode = FALSE, 
    run_fmtutil = TRUE)

tlmgr_path(action = c("add", "remove"))

tlmgr_conf(more_args = character())

Arguments

`args`	A character vector of arguments to be passed to the command `tlmgr`.
`usermode`	(For expert users only) Whether to use TeX Live's user mode. If `TRUE`, you must have run `tlmgr('init-usertree')` once before. This option allows you to manage a user-level texmf tree, e.g., install a LaTeX package to your home directory instead of the system directory, to which you do not have write permission. This option should not be needed on personal computers, and has some limitations, so please read the tlmgr manual very carefully before using it.
`...`	Additional arguments passed to `system2()` (e.g., `stdout = TRUE` to capture stdout).
`.quiet`	Whether to hide the actual command before executing it.
`what`	A search keyword as a (Perl) regular expression.
`file`	Whether to treat `what` as a filename (pattern).
`all`	For `tlmgr_search()`, whether to search in everything, including package names, descriptions, and filenames. For `tlmgr_update()`, whether to update all installed packages.
`global`	Whether to search the online TeX Live Database or locally.
`word`	Whether to restrict the search of package names and descriptions to match only full words.
`pkgs`	A character vector of LaTeX package names.
`path`	Whether to run `tlmgr_path('add')` after installing packages (`path = TRUE` is a conservative default: it is only necessary to do this after a binary package is installed, such as the metafont package, which contains the executable `mf`, but it does not hurt even if no binary packages were installed).
`self`	Whether to update the TeX Live Manager itself.
`more_args`	A character vector of more arguments to be passed to the command `tlmgr update` or `tlmgr conf`.
`run_fmtutil`	Whether to run `fmtutil-sys --all` to (re)create format and hyphenation files after updating tlmgr.
`action`	On Unix, add/remove symlinks of binaries to/from the system's `PATH`. On Windows, add/remove the path to the TeXLive binary directory to/from the system environment variable `PATH`.

Details

The tlmgr() function is a wrapper of system2('tlmgr'). All other tlmgr_*() functions are based on tlmgr for specific tasks. Please consult the tlmgr manual for full details.

Examples

# search for a package that contains titling.sty
tlmgr_search("titling.sty")

#' to match titling.sty exactly, add a slash before the keyword, e.g.
#' tlmgr_search('/titling.sty')

#' use a regular expression if you want to be more precise, e.g.
#' tlmgr_search('/titling\\.sty$')

# list all installed LaTeX packages
tlmgr(c("info", "--list", "--only-installed", "--data", "name"))
