8 The TeXSetup program
The TeXSetup program knows about the following options :
-
--help
- brief listing of the options
-
--source-directory
- this specifies the root directory where the distribution
lies; the program TeXSetup by itself is supposed to be located in the
setupw32 sub-directory of this location. If you need to use an upgraded
version of the program to install some TeX-Live 5 CD-ROM, you will
need this option because you won’t be able to copy the program to the
CD-ROM.
-
--automatic-reboot
- will reboot the machine automatically if needed at
the end of the setup.
-
--dry-run
- fake install, do not copy anything.
-
--quick
- do not stop at each page of the wizard, use either command line
or default configuration parameters; installation will stop on the last
page.
-
--level=(basic|recommended|full)
- choose default installation level.
-
--net-download
- enable to download packages from the internet.
-
--base-url URL
- specify the remote location for packages; you can avoid
to download them locally and let the TeXSetup.exe program do it,
however you still need to have a local copy of the tpm files.
-
--source-directory DIR
- specify the directory from where TeXSetup.exe
is run; this directory should contain a tpm/ subdirectory.
-
--installation-directory DIR
- the directory where files will be copied.
-
--with-source
- install the source files for TEX packages.
-
--with-doc
- install the documentation files for the packages; generic
documentation is installed anyway, depending on the level requested.
-
--program-folder FOLDER
- install the menus in the specified folder.
-
--add-package PKG
- with an argument, will (re)install this package; with
no arguments will offer to choose which packages to install.
-
--uninstall
- Remove everything.
