mpm - MiKTeX package manager
MPM starts in windowed mode, if you do not specify any
command-line options.
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
--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]

if specified, is a comma-separated list of trace stream names
(Chapter 9, Trace Streams).
--verbose

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

Chapter 9, Trace Streams). If this variable is set, then MiKTeX
programs will write trace messages into the configured log sink.
