There are five steps to installing a LaTeX package. You should of course read this file first. There will often be a readme.txt with a brief description of the package. dtx file.ĭownload the package files to a temporary directory.

Either the package is part of a much larger bundle which you shouldn't normally update unless you change LaTeX version of LaTeX.If the two files are not there, it means one of two things: The second is the installation routine (much smaller). The first is a DOCTeX file, which combines the package program and its documentation in a single file. What you need to look for is usually two files, one ending in.

You can install these packages with sudo apt-get install. texlive-full, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-math-extra, texlive-plain-extra, texlive-bibtex-extra, texlive-generic-extra, and language packages, which are all available here on the Ubuntu packages site, as well as here for Trusty updates. On Ubuntu, with releases such as Trusty, you can use texlive and texlive-extra packages, e.g. Instructions for specific operating systems If you cannot find the wanted package with any of the previous methods, see the manual installation. The use of tlmgr is covered in the Installation chapter. With TeX Live manually installed, use tlmgr to manage packages individually.

For example, to install something related to internationalization, you might have to install a package like texlive-lang. With TeX Live, it is common to have the distribution packed into a few big packages. As a convenient feature, upon the compilation of a file requiring non-installed packages, MikTeX will automatically prompt to install the missing ones. With MikTeX there is a package manager that allows you to pick the package you want individually. If on an operating system with a package manager or a portage tree, you can often find packages in repositories.

Once you have identified a package you need that is not in your distribution, use the indexes on any CTAN server to find the package you need and the directory where it can be downloaded from. The main place to look for style packages on the Internet is CTAN. Most LaTeX installations come with a large set of pre-installed style packages, so you can use the package manager of the TeX distribution or the one on your system to manage them. In practice there is no problem in having even a couple of dozen packages active. There is no limit to the number of packages you can have installed on your computer (apart from disk space!), but there is a configurable limit to the number that can be used inside any one LaTeX document at the same time, although it depends on how big each package is.

You can download updates to packages you already have (both the ones that were installed along with your version of LaTeX as well as ones you added). When you try to typeset a document which requires a package which is not installed on your system, LaTeX will warn you with an error message that it is missing. There are two main file types: class files with. To find out what other packages are available and what they do, you should use the CTAN search page which includes a link to Graham Williams' comprehensive package catalogue.Ī package is a file or collection of files containing extra LaTeX commands and programming which add new styling features or modify those already existing. The directory name 'texmf' stands for “TEX and METAFONT”. They should all be stored in subdirectories of texmf/tex/latex named after each package. Dozens of these are pre-installed with LaTeX and can be used in your documents immediately.
