Yes, but we should add that you might like to set

sudo tlmgr option repository http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet

first, otherwise you'll get the message

tlmgr: Your installation is set up to look on the disk for updates.

by default.

After that, it works, and you can use TLU again. Thx.
