Installing a .sty package in MiKTeK I've spent two days trying to install manually the cite.sty package in MiKTeX when nothing worked except putting it in the same directory as my .tex file. I run windows. I found the MiKTeX options (by searching &quot;settings&quot; in my computer), which display the following four root directories.   it says that sty file should be placed (respecting the structure tex/latex/cite) in the local texmf directory structure but  and  it says that it should be in the home texmf directory. Part of the problem is that I don't have any directory in my computer named &quot;texmf&quot; (or &quot;localtexmf&quot; or &quot;texmf-local&quot;). After putting the file in the right place one must refresh FNDB, which can be done on MiKTeX options or by typing &quot;texhash&quot; in the command prompt. When I did the latter I noticed that only the first three directories in the list were being searched. Now when you put the mouse over the different directories, on all of them except c:\mytexmf the following warning comes up.  This directory is maintained by MiKTeX. You should not install your own files here, because they might get lost when MiKTeX gets updated.  On the c:\mytexmf directory the message comes:  This directory can be used for local additions.  So I intended to put the file there, but, unlike with all the others, I cannot find this directory in my computer. I don't know if the fact that the &quot;c:&quot; in the address is lowercase means something. So I went back to trying to identify the home and local texmf directories. Following the advice in the last link I wrote the following commands in the command prompt.  -var-value=TEXMFHOME -var-value=TEXMFLOCAL  The first one yielded the error message &quot;unrecognised option -val-value-TEXMFHOME&quot; but the second one came back with &quot;C:/Users/pablo/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9&quot;. Piecing things together I guessed that the &quot;C:\Users\pablo\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9&quot; directory was, despite the name, the TEXMFHOME directory. I included the correspoding directory tree and file (tex/latex/cite/cite.sty) there, refreshed FNDB with the command &quot;texhash&quot; and it worked. The problem though is that I'm still not sure whether this is the ideal place to put the file, and whether it might get lost when MiKTeX is updated. And the problem remains that I cannot find the c:\mytexmf directory. Extra information:  it states: &quot;UserInstall: the installation destination for packages installed by the user&quot;, where &quot;Userinstall&quot; corresponds (see image above) to my TEXMF-LOCAL directory. This is a bit confusing considering the warning message, and the fact that it worked when I put my package in the other directory. I can't find the MiKTeX console and I'm not at all sure that I have it. I did find the package manager but when trying to use it to install the package it yields the following error message:  get host by name failed in tcp_connect()  The information  and  seems to contradict on whether MiKTeX includes by default a local texmf tree. In my case it seems that the answer is yes. Other useful links:
Create a local texmf tree in MiKTeX In TeX Live there are TEXMFLOCAL for admin and TEXMFHOME for user pre-defined, but in MiKTeX there’s by default no local texmf tree installed, though it is useful, cf. . Therefore my question:  How do I create a local texmf tree in MiKTeX?
Which is Most TimeMachine-like Backup Program for Ubuntu? I know this  but there is no comparison to OSX's TimeMachine.  I would like to find a backup software which is about the same as TimeMachine or better.  I would like to have such a software which can use some format of HDD which is suitable for big files (50 GB) in Linux.  I noticed that   OSX format of HFS+ is not supported by Linux distros, since no maintainer of HFS in Linux since 2006 NTFS format made by Debian 8.1 is not supported by older Linux distros   If Windows support, good.   Try with the Backups (Deja Dup) software  I did start the backup first time but I wanted to go to lunch after backup was running already two hours of just 10 GB files.  So it gave me this after the lunch    which is really insane, reported now , since the software is not designed to have pauses in doing the backups. Is there a command where I can teleport myself to a specific kind of block? I can't find my house and I have specific kind of blocks in it like beacons, enchantment tables, furnaces, stuff like that. I didn't put a bed and I never viewed the coordinates. update line based on previous line I am running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS i686 on VirtulBox. Every time I check the updates, there's a new Linux kernel. If I install the new kernel, I have to install the Virtulbox Guest Additions again and reboot the server. I don't want to do this every week. I know I can manually uncheck the kernel packages from update manager, but is there a way to skip the kernel update automatically? I found an answer here, but it's for Ubuntu 10. Thanks. Even though a question may be closed by receiving 5 close votes, the votes do not necessarily need to agree.  I think this is a good behavior, but  (which it was) and found the question was closed as "not a real question".  This is unfortunate, while I'm happy to display my username and acknowledge that I voted to close, I'd like some additional transparency.  That is, if it was a 4-1 vote for "not a real question" vs "exact duplicate" I'd be interested in seeing that level of information.  The point is to be transparent about why the question was closed, and though 5 users may agree the question needs to be closed they may not agree why.  It's important to recognize all the reasons for closure, not just the majority reason.  I'd suggest displaying this information as something like:     closed on Jun 21 at 4:26 as:         not a real question by foo, bar, baz   exact duplicate by alice, bob      Once a question has been closed I'd argue it's more important to understand the rationale than it is to worry about an extra 2 lines of text. If the votes are 2,1,1,1 perhaps keep just 2 bullets, the first showing the majority vote, the second saying "for other reasons" as a summary of the change.  The point is to aggregate the summary by reason. How do I change the `enumerate` list format to use letters instead of the default Arabic numerals?

Test Class Apex Page Parameters Show that total orders are maximal orders A set $X$ together with a binary relation $\leq$ such that for all $x,y,z\in X$,  $O1$. $x\leq x$  $O2$. $x\leq y$ and $y\leq x$ then $x=y$  $O3$. $x\leq y$ and $y\leq z$ then $x\leq z$  is called an ordered or sometimes a partially ordered.

Well, this question has been puzzling me for kinda long time, many people believe that orbiting astronauts feel weightless because they are "beyond the pull of Earth's gravity"...How far from the Earth would a spacecraft have to travel to be truly beyond the Earth's gravitational influence? If a spacecraft were really unaffected by Earth's gravity would it remain n orbit? If so, what is the real reason for weightlessness in orbit?

In :  $$ \begin{align} t(x) = \begin{cases} 0 &amp; \text{if $x$ is irrational}\\ \frac{1}{n} &amp; \text{if $x = \frac{m}{n}$ where $\gcd(m,n) = 1$} \end{cases} \end{align} $$  I can prove the discontinuity at rational $b$ by taking a sequence of irrationals $x_n$ which converge to $b$.   But while going through an argument for continuity at irrationals.  I found this in a book.      On the other hand if $b$ is an irrational number and $\epsilon &gt; 0$   then there is a     natural number $n_0$ such that $1/n_0 &lt; \epsilon$.   There are only finite number of rationals with denominator less than   $n_0$ in the interval $(b-1,b+1)$. Hence we can find a $\delta &gt; 0$   such that $\delta$ neighbourhood of $b$ contains no rational with   denominator less than $n_0$.   I understand the rest of the proof. But I am unable to prove the emphasized text. Although I find it intuitive.
