Re: CTAN packages for Fedora

Hi,

I installed but it does not find the package.


mpm --install=marginnotes
mpm: Unknown package.

Actually, I wonder if something has to be done to set up repositories and the
like before it works. Specifically, this is what happens:

mpm --list-repositories
No package repositories are currently available.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Trotter

Don't think so... To install (La)TeX packages you can download and
install mpm:


http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/miktex/miktex-tools-2.5.2719-beta-15.tar.gz?download

This utility do the job for you, ie.: install packages with "official"
TDS in your /usr/local/share/texmf directory.

It is easy to use:

mpm --install=marginnote


You just have to run texhash after install (or texhash, then updmap if
you install fonts).
