In most cases if not all, we always need packages to run .tex files in TexStudio. We will always import packages with \usepackage{package_name} function and if the package being imported is not available then the .tex file won’t compile.

In this particular blog we will learn how to install Latex packages in Linux and we will get the packages from CTAN. There are two cases. You may go to CTAN and find:

  1. .ins file for the package or
  2. zipped file with .ins file already build.
