Re: updating texlive package

[EK]

Scott, Your advice works for Windows, but in linux tex-live seem to hide the package manager (to enforce unified package updating through the linux package manager, I guess). I tried to find tlmgr in the ubuntu repositories but failed.

I have currently texlive 2012 and I don't want to update it to newest texlive 2013 now. But I have a few outdated packages I would like to update. Can it be done with texlive manager (tlmgr)? To update a texlive package from a local zip file downloaded from a site like ctan. 2013 is not released yet. You can run 'tlmgr --gui' to give you a GUI for updating LaTeX packages with TeX Live. (note that you have to have the package perl-tk installed) That will also download the package itself so you don't have to do it manually. To update everything from the command line, do: tlmgr update --self --all You might have to use 'sudo'.
