- Install MacTex from here

When I started working with
Tex Live
in Windows, I have realized how difficult is to get additional information about the process of adding a new package to theTex Live
in Windows. I useTeXStudio
for the user interface. -
TeX Live Manager 2015
manages the installed packages forTeX Live
. When you use thetlmgr
tab andLoad
packages, there are pre-defined packages. If one needs to install any new styles such aslineno.sty
,titlesec.sty
,paralist.sty
, the best way to add these packages are to download the packages from the officialCRAN
page and put them in theC:\texlive\texmf-local\tex\latex\local
folder. Then, you just need to runmktexlsr.exe
in theC:\texlive\2014\bin\win32
folder. Runningmktexlsr.exe
make sure that the package is installed and ready to use inTeX Studio
