mpm --update depreciated, what is command line alternative?

[SinOfNature]

Hi,

I need a command line way of updating the packages (not using admin console). I was using the following commands on Windows 10:

"C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\mpm.exe" --admin --find-updates
"C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\mpm.exe" --admin --update

I'm getting a warning that these commands are depreciated and will be removed in later versions. I also noticed that the command mpm --help does even show those options.

What is the correct way of doing this that does not use the GUI console. I need to do this via script. All the documentation seems to keep pointing me to the Admin Console (GUI).

Any help appreciated.

Iain

Go for the miktex packages command:

miktex --admin packages update-package-database
miktex --admin packages update
miktex packages update

See https://docs.miktex.org/manual/miktex-packages.html for more information
