I have just installed BasicTeX on OSX 10.5 and I'm trying to locate the texmf
directory to copy the llncs
(LaTeX .cls
and .sty
files) folder into.
According to the install log the location should be ~/Library/texmf
, but this folder does not exist.
So where are the packages stored on OSX?
Background: the llncs
package is not in the usual repositories so it cannot be installed with any of the package-management tools. On the Windows machine at work I use MikTeX and installed the package manually by copying it to the texmf
directory and updating the DB as explained in How can I manually install a package on MiKTeX (Windows).
texmf
.~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/llncs
, that is, a folderllncs
insidelatex
insidetex
insidetexmf
, and finally put thellncs.cls
file in the last folder. There's nothing else to do.
