MikTeX on the command line automatically installs missing packages, but when I run latex via TeXMaker, it does not. How can I achieve that?

  • oops - it doesn't on the command line either... – Wybo Dekker Jun 4 '12 at 14:44
  • Have you checked the MikTeX settings, whether it is set to install packages on-the-fly? – Torbjørn T. Jun 4 '12 at 14:58
  • yes,I installed it that way, and I have verified it in the MikTex options: Install missing packages on-the-fly: Yes (I'm not familiar with MikTeX, normally I'm on Linux) – Wybo Dekker Jun 4 '12 at 15:31

    not answering your question but: I always install all packages after installing miktex just to avoid issues like you mentioned above. using the package manager this takes maybe a few hours and around 1-2gb disk space but was always worth the afford while working with huge documents later... – Waqar Lim Jun 4 '12 at 15:50

First setup MikTeX to allow this feature:

    Very general and does not solve the problem at all. – Johu Jan 9 '17 at 7:09
