Primary LanguageObjective-C

WHAT IS THIS?

TeX Live Utility is a Mac OS X graphical interface for TeX Live Manager. It aims to provide a native Mac OS X interface for the most commonly used functions of the TeX Live Manager command-line tool.

TeX Live 2008 and later come with the TeX Live Manager for updating, installing, and otherwise managing a TeX installation. It includes a cross-platform Perl/Tk graphical interface, and a command-line interface (tlmgr). The cross-platform Perl/Tk interface is less Mac-like, but provides access to more features.

The home page has more information about features.
