How to install a package on texlive? [windows 7]
Please start the TeXLive manager and you should get:
- In the Status-block you could select only installed packages. (marked as 1)
- In the column "Local Rev" (marked as 2) you can see the actual version.
- The column
remote rev
will contain the actual version of the remote repository (you must first load it). If there is a higher number, then there was an update. - In the Block Repository you can load from a remote repository. This may take some time. The status block on the bottom will show you some details. (marked as 3).
- If there is a problem, you may try to use a different repository. Select one from the menu under

- If there is a problem, you may try to use a different repository. Select one from the menu under
- With
Update all installed
you can refresh your installation. - With
Update
you can update the selected entries. (You could select the statusupdates
and select them). - In the block
Match
you can set a filter.
As you do it the first time, you must first update the manager. Instead Update all installed
there should be another command (sorry, I can`t provide a screenshot yet). Just follow the instructions. After the update of the TeXLive manager you have to restart it and then you can update your packages.
If you have problems, can you please post a screenshot, so we can see what your problem is.
