How do I install an individual package on a Linux system?
I've had this problem for a while now on Ubuntu. Whenever I have a missing .sty
file (right now, it's outlines.sty
), I have to go to synaptic and search for the .sty file. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Then, I search for it on this site or some search engine -- all basic adhoc stuff.
I was wondering if there's a regular/reliable way of finding if a .sty file is available for my distro. MikTeX has a great package manager and I wish we have something similar on Ubuntu.
Also, should this be here or on the askubuntu site? I haven't had this issue with any of the rest of Ubuntu so posting it here first.

but you can install manually a package. You go at ctan.org/search then you download the package and you put the files inside a "texmf" folder of your "home". If this folder does not exist, you create it. – Alain Matthes Jan 1 '12 at 10:36
