→Installation: It's now possible to specify a list of engines to install
Platform can be ''win'', ''linux'', ''linux-64'', ''osx-ppc'' or ''osx-intel'' (default: ''win'');
engine can be ''pdftex'', ''xetex'', ''luatex'' or , ''all'' , or a comma-separated list of any of those (the default is : ''all'' and apart from that only one ). If you want to specify a list of engines, you would have to protect it on most shells: <code>--engine at the same time is supported at the moment='xetex, luatex'</code>, sorry)for example. TeX root, obviously, is the location of your installation (the directory where texmf trees like texmf, texmf-local, etc. are to be found), default: ''tex'' (relative to the current directory).
Most of the task of <code>mtx-update</code> is to run <code>rsync</code> to synchronize your local installation with the repository. It is assumed that Unix users (including Mac OS X) would have an rsync client installed by default on their system; for Windows an rsync binary is provided as part of the initial setup (see next paragraph).
