texfindpkg(1)

📦 version 2026.0, in alpine 3.24

💅 texfindpkg — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, gather round, because this is texfindpkg(1), a General Commands Manual situation, and she is that girl. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

TexFindPkg — query or install TeX packages and their dependencies 🎀

like… she finds your TeX packages. by file name, by command name, by environment name. and she brings the whole friend group (that's the dependencies) along with her. iconic behaviour, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

texfindpkg <action> [<option>] [<name>]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. an action, maybe an option, maybe a name. go off 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the TeXFindPkg tool makes it easy to query or install some TeX packages and their dependencies — and the way she does it is by file names, by command names, or by environment names. literally three different ways to look her up. main character energy fr fr.

The most commonly used TeXFindPkg actions are:

  • query, --query — Query dependencies for some package 🔍
  • install, --install — Install some package and its dependencies 📦
  • help, --help — Print a help message and exit 🙋‍♀️
  • version, --version — Print version information and exit ⭐

those are the ones you'll be living in, bestie. memorise them. put them on your lock screen. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

Various options apply. (yes, the original really said "various options apply" and honestly? mood. but here's the tea on each one 🍓)

  • -c — Query or install packages by command name ⚡
  • -e — Query or install packages by environment name 🌈
  • -f — Query or install packages by file name 📁
  • -p — Query or install packages by package name 🎁

pick your fighter. or like, pick the one that matches what you actually have in front of you, bestie, that's the whole point. 💜
