I just downloaded the media9.zip package and unzipped it to a subdirectory of C:\texlive. But I don't know where to go from here.   The documentation says: "MiKTeX and TeXLive users should run the package manager for installation", but I don't see anything in the folder tree with names resembling 'package manager' or 'installation'.

I need to install a new TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt package on my computer.  I'm running Ubuntu/Fedora/Slackware/Some-Version-Of Linux.  What are the possible ways to do this?    Note:&nbsp;&nbsp; We get a number of questions that essentially reduce to this one; it was felt a good idea to have one question-and-answer that can cover all the standard methods.  See  for the discussion.  The question-and-answer are CW so that more information can be easily added.  If you have information to add, please do so.  If you are unsure, leave a comment here or (preferably) in .  Comments on the question and answer will be periodically removed to ensure that the information is clear.

I need to install a LaTeX package on my MikTeX system.  Specifically, I am trying to make biblatex work, but I always get the error message:    ! LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found.   I have changed the options to have the "Quick Build" command that includes biblatex too.   Code/commands are correct because it's working under Overleaf.

This is probably actually a more general question which is : how do I see which packages will be installed when I install a metapackage? In this specific instance I have mostly only found vague descriptions like      Installing this package will pull in support for MP3 playback and decoding, support for various other audio formats (GStreamer plugins), Microsoft fonts, Java runtime environment, Flash plugin, LAME (to create compressed audio files), and DVD playback.    from    apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras tells me that I am installing one package: ubuntu-restricted-extras.  Especially in this case, I'd like to know what I'm putting on my computer and what agreements I am tacitly agreeing to by doing so. I'd also sort of like to know what the difference between the various *ubuntu-restricted-extras packages are.

A quick survey of the unanswered  questions suggestions that about 20% of them are about problems with including multimedia files, such as videos or sound files. Many of them are about either using the wrong method for their file type (or the wrong file kind for their method) or use an unsuitable pdf viewer. Maybe this question can help to organise the information a bit. There are different ways to include multimedia files in , which one work and which ones do not highly depends on the pdf viewer you use and the operating system you are on. This questions tries to summarize the main information about the different packages which can be used, one answer per package.

OS: Ubuntu 11.10 TeX: Tex Live 2011   Using the information given at the aforementioned question, I was able to see the list of packages in my current TeX Live installation. I wanted to save the list in a file. I tried using the "Edit>>Select All" option from the terminal. But using that I am able to save only a small sub-section of it. Is there a simple addition that I can make to the "list" command with "tlmgr" to make it print the output to a file?

(FYI I am new to LaTeX)  I'm trying to compile a TeX document that someone else has given me. I had BasicTex installed, and it didn't seem to work. My friend said he uses TeX Live, so I tried installing that but I get the same error after typing pdftex document.tex:  ! Undefined control sequence. l.1 \documentclass                   [final,hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}   I'm guessing that means the distribution I have installed does not support this tag, is that right?  How can I find out which distribution I should install?

I have installed TeXlive through MacPorts and now discover that I am missing some package. For clarity let's use a trivial example and say I am missing lipsum.sty.  I now have two options:  Option 1  I go to a CTAN site, look for lipsum.sty, download it, and install it in ~/Library/texmf/tex.  This is not bad, but it leaves it possible that I will end up with a second lipsum at some point. That's why the second option is desirable.  Option 2  2.1-- I find out which MacPorts package includes lipsum.sty  and  2.2-- I sudo port install the necessary package.  How do I do 2.1?

I am running latexlive, I think everything is installed.  How can I check to see if the etoolbox and ifthen packages are installed?  I think these packages will solve my problems.  If they are not installed, what is the best way to install them on a Debian environment?

The problem is: where one can read precise instruction on how to  effectively install Windows "Truefonts" (.ttf files) in TeX Live LaTeX environment installed in Windows XP? But please, do not drive me to  (from the other hand valuable) article written by S. Kroonenberg called . I know it.

There have been a few questions regarding installing this package in the past, but they now seem to be out of date. I'm using MiKTeX 2.9 and TexMaker. When I try \usepackage{mathtools} in TexMaker it will try to install the package for me but will fail. I took the advice given in this thread:   As suggested I tried installing the mh package using the MiKTeX Package Manager, unfortunately I get the "unknown archive size" error, which I have read means that the package no longer exists. Another thread (lost the link) said you can use the MiKTeX Package Manager to directly install mathtools, however I do not see mathtools listed anywhere in the MiKTeX Package Manager...   So I ask, is the package under a different name? Are there any other ways to install this package?

I want to install a portable Tex Live in windows 10. But after searching online I just get this from .  The -portable installer option (or V command in the text installer or corresponding GUI option) creates a completely self-contained TEX Live installation under a common root and forgoes system integration. You can create such an installation directly on a USB stick, or copy it to a USB stick afterwards. To run TEX using this portable installation, you need to add the appropriate binary directory to the search path during your terminal session, as usual. On Windows, you can double-click tl-tray-menu at the root of the installation and create a temporary ‘tray menu’ offering a choice of a few common tasks, as shown in this . The ‘More…’ entry explains how you can customize this menu.  Any more instructions in detail? What should I do?

I've been trying to get , but it's only available through Quantal, and I'm running Raring. Is there a way to force-install a PPA from a previous release? I tried manually downloading all the packages and running sudo dpkg -i but I get lots of errors about dependencies, some of which don't look like they can be resolved. Am I stuck with having to compile vim myself?

I am writing a program, and I want it to do different things depending on which LaTeX packages have been installed.  My current solution is to automatically generate simple .tex files that \usepackage the packages I care about and then automatically check if pdflatex can compile them or not.  This solution seems slow and fragile.  What is a better solution?  Edit: The program I am writing is in Python.

I went to their site, and downloaded a .bundle which automagically turned into a .txt file after downloading.   Long story short, I can't run the txt file because I guess Mountain Lion Mac os X isn't a strict Linux box and is missing some core components to do that type of installation.  Does anyone know how to install VMware?

I tried to install ffmpeg in trusty/Ubuntu 14.04 and got the following message:  $sudo apt-get install ffmpeg  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate   Why isn't the package available?
