<div>My name is Nish Krishnamurthy and I’m a graduate student at Florida State University where I’m using LaTex (MacTex) to write my dissertation. I’m having issues with the Tex Live Utility updating itself. Specifically, whenever I open TeX Live Utility on
my Macbook to see the different packages I have installed, this warning pops up:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<div><b>Repository URL has a newer TeX Live version</b>. Your TeX Live version is 2012, but your default repository URL appears to be for TeX Live 2013. You need to manually upgrade to a newer version of TeX Live, as there will be no further updates for your
version.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</blockquote>
So when I choose “upgrade”, it takes me to this page (<a href="http://tug.org/texlive/">http://tug.org/texlive/</a>) from where I click and download the “install-fl-unx.tar.gz” installation file for Mac. Then after unzipping that file, opening the “install-tl”
execution file, and finally choosing “Install to hard disk” after the terminal window opens, this message appears:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">

Being able to upgrade to the latest version of TeX Live is important so that I’m able to use the latest packages for my dissertation (like pgfplots). I would therefore appreciate any help and/or assistance you might be able to give in order to help me install/update
the latest version of TeX Live Utility for my Macbook. Thank you very much.</div>
