If you run on TeXlive, \useMPlib[libname] should be enough.
Otherwise you must install it in one of your texmf trees, e.g. ~/texmf

Instead, these two can be useful tools to have at hand:

I am in the process of converting a bunch of old TikZ notepaper

to generate notebooks with documentation data and then blank pages appended to
fill out full sheets, and then collated in a particular order for trimming and

Hi,
Here is 'a' way to draw the subpath, at least. I do not have time to come up
with a nice “thicker in the middle” solution.
