mpm — MiKTeX package manager
mpm
[option
...]
This utility can be run in two modes:
MPM operates on the user installation directory (usually
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\MiKTeX 2.9
).
MPM operates on the system-wide installation directory
(usually C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9
), assuming that the MiKTeX setup is
shared by all users. MPM must be run with administrator
privileges.
By default, MPM runs in user mode. You can turn on
administrator mode with the --admin
option. For
example, if you want to install a package for all users, you invoke
MPM as follows:
>
mpm --admin --install=a0poster
--admin
Run in administrator mode:
Operate on the system-wide MiKTeX configuration data store.
Install packages for all users.
Using this option requires a shared MiKTeX setup, i.e., MiKTeX must have been set up for all users. The program must be run with administrator privileges.
--help

--hhelp
This option is only available on Windows systems: show the manual page in an HTML Help window and exit when the window is closed.
