[SOLVED] Update Package Miktex
Published: February 14, 2024 - 10:30 AM
Hi everyone,
I noticed that the miktex Windows package remained at version 22.10 even though version 24.1 was released.
I created this update_package which returns the latest version if you're interested, so you can then download it

Code: Select all
def update_package():
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url_html = "https://ctan.tetaneutral.net/systems/win32/miktex/setup/windows-x64/"
bin_begin = "basic-miktex-"
bin_end = "-x64.exe"
site = requests.get(url_html)
HTML = site.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(HTML,'html.parser').find_all('a')[1:]
for a in soup:
if a.text.startswith(bin_begin):
checked_version = Version(a.text.split("-")[2])
try: version
except NameError: last_version = checked_version
else:
if checked_version > version:
last_version = checked_version
last_version = bin_begin+str(last_version)+bin_end
print(last_version)
! Jordan has taken the code to update the package; it should be available soon on wapt-testing and then on the store.
