miktex — One MiKTeX Utility

This utility can be run in two modes:
MiKTeX operates on user-scoped configuration and data files.
Only system-wide MiKTeX configuration and data files are modified, assuming that the MiKTeX setup is shared by all users. The utility must be run with administrator privileges.
By default, the utility runs in user mode. You can turn on
administrator mode with the --admin option. For
example, if you want to update the system-wide file name database, you
invoke the utility as follows:
