Hi I tried to install the package by
tlmgr install dsfont
but I only get
tlmgr: package repository http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet
package dsfont not present in package repository.
I also installed the package doublestroke since I read somewhere that this package contains dsfont, but if I include dsfont I still get an error message..
Does anyone know how to help me?
On Debian based TeX distribution you can try
sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra
dsfont

doublestroke is the distribution package name in MiKTeX for the LaTeX package dsfont.
dsfont is contained in doublestroke.
dsfont is in the TeX Live distribution package doublestroke. The file name for a LaTeX packages is the package name with extension .sty. As you can see in my answer, the file texmf-dist/tex/latex/doublestroke/dsfont.sty is part of doublestroke. Regarding the command line, I do not know your operating system, which TeX distribution is installed, and, in case of TeX Live, whether tlmgr is available (some Linux distributions omit it). Best, ask a new question with all the details and describe the problem you have.
