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.
