MPM(1) User Commands MPM(1) NAME mpm - MiKTeX package manager SYNOPSIS mpm [option...] DESCRIPTION MPM starts in windowed mode, if you do not specify any command-line op- tions. USER MODE VS. ADMINISTRATOR MODE This utility can be run in two modes: User mode (default) MPM operates on the user installation directory (usually ~/.mik- tex/texmfs/install). Administrator mode MPM operates on the system-wide installation directory (usually /usr/local/share/miktex-texmf), assuming that the MiKTeX setup is shared by all users. MPM must be run with administrator privileges. By default, MPM runs in user mode. You can turn on administrator mode with the --admin option. For example, if you want to install a package for all users, you invoke MPM as follows: > mpm --admin --install=a0poster OPTIONS --admin Run in administrator mode: * Operate on the system-wide MiKTeX configuration data store. * Install packages for all users. Using this option requires a shared MiKTeX setup, i.e., MiKTeX must have been set up for all users. The program must be run with adminis- trator privileges. --help Give help and exit. --hhelp This option is only available on Windows systems: show the manual page in an HTML Help window and exit when the window is closed. --import=package Import the specified package from another MiKTeX installation. The root directory must be specified via --repository=dir. --import-all Import all packages from another MiKTeX installation. The root direc- tory must be specified via --repository=dir. --pick-repository-url Pick up a suitable URL from the package repository list and print it. --quiet Suppress all output, except errors. --repository=location Use the specified location as the package repository. The location can be either a fully qualified path name (a local package repository) or an URL (a remote package repository). --repository-release-state=state Select the release state of the remote package repository. The release state is relevant for finding appropriate package repositories. The re- lease state must be one of stable or next. --set-repository=location Store the location of the default package repository in the MiKTeX con- figuration data store. The location can be either a fully qualified path name (a local package repository) or an URL (a remote package repository). --trace[=tracestreams] Enable trace messages. The tracestreams argument, if specified, is a comma-separated list of trace stream names (Chapter 9, Trace Streams). --verbose Turn on verbose output mode. --version Show version information and exit. ENVIRONMENT MIKTEX_REPOSITORY Location of the default package repository. This can be either a fully qualified path name (a local package repository) or an URL (a remote package repository). MIKTEX_TRACE Comma-separated list of trace stream names (see Chapter 9, Trace Streams). If this variable is set, then MiKTeX programs will write trace messages into the configured log sink. http_proxy The proxy server to be used for HTTP. FTP_PROXY The proxy server to be used for . ALL_PROXY The proxy server to be used, if no protocol-specific proxy is set. NO_PROXY Comma-separated list of host names that should not go through any proxy.
