I am using Ubuntu Software Center. I found the package, click Install and it says that the package is installed. BUT when I tried to compile my .tex file it says
LaTeX Error: File `fullpage.sty' not found.
When I typed in the terminal locate fullpage.sty nothing appears. When I typed apt-get install fullpage, it gives the following error:
E: Unable to locate package fullpage
I already did mktexlsr
What should I do in this case?
Under Ubuntu, fullpage.sty is in the package texlive-latex-extra. You can install it with
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
Since the documentation is very big (327 MB), I installed it with
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra --no-install-recommends
If you installed via apt-get, you should install packages via apt-get, which does not currently seem to have a textlive-preprint package so you'll need to use sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
If you happened to install otherwise such as MacTeX or a manual install on Linux, you can use tlmgr to install the small preprint package sudo tlmgr install preprint
texlive-extratexmf. Where do I place my own .sty or .cls files, to make them available to all my .tex files?
