Ok, so I started using Texmaker to make PDF files, and I am being repeatedly stymied by missing packages. (Windows 7 OS here).
Apparently, there is supposed to be a way for them to be downloaded automatically, but this does not seem to be the case for me. I have tried googling around for how to make it automatically add packages but I cannot seem to find anything, and the terminology is very, very confusing. Yes it is using MikTeX. Yes, I am using Texmaker.
Currently just adding the {mcode} package has become a full day project. Why is this so hard? How do I go about making Texmaker just download whatever package it needs?
