Hi, I uploaded a version that provides mtxrun --script install-tikz that when run in the tex root (.../tex) will fetch some tikz stuff from ctan and puts is in texmf-modules. After installing it wipes the files that make no sense (or can interfere or might be harmful) but I didn't check that extensively. Finally it remakes the file dastabase. I don't know if more needs to be installed. It assumes curl to be present (as library or binary). It's a rather stupid script but (I guess) good enough for what it is supposed to do. I can add more (like other modules) in which case it will be renamed.
