mtxrun --script update --platform=<your platform> --engine=<a TeX engine> --texroot=<install dir> --update
Platform (default is ''win'') can be : * ''win'', * ''linux'', * ''linux-64'', * ''osx-ppc'', * ''osx-intel'' or * ''sun'' Engine (default: is ''winall'');engine can be ''pdftex'', ''xetex'', ''luatex'', ''all''any of the following, or a comma-separated list of any of those combination (default: ''all''). If you want to specify a list of engines, you would have to protect it on most shells: such as <code>--engine='xetex, luatex'</code>, for example. ): * ''pdftex''* ''xetex''* ''luatex''* ''all'' 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).
