NAME
       mpm - MiKTeX package manager

SYNOPSIS

       mpm [option...]

DESCRIPTION
       MPM starts in windowed mode, if you do not specify any command-line
       options.

USER MODE VS. ADMINISTRATOR MODE
       This utility can	be run in two modes:

       User mode (default)
	   MPM operates	on the user installation directory (usually
	   ~/.miktex/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
	   administrator 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
	   directory 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 release state must	be one of stable or next.

       --set-repository=location
	   Store the location of the default package repository	in the MiKTeX
	   configuration 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.
