I am new to the Latex environment. I am simply compiling the IEEE trans Latex format in Tex-maker but I am getting this problem. I have copied the ieeetran.cls file to the directory 

tex>latex>ieeetran>ieeetran.cls

but still when I try to compile the project the error displays that ieeetran.cls not found. 

! LaTeX Error: File `IEEEtran.cls' not found.Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)Enter file name:! Emergency stop.<read > \usepackage

I have tried to install the package but it didn't installs.

Before voting down this question please keep in mind that I am new to the whole Latex and Tex-maker thing so please be polite while answering my question. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Can you please tell what operating system you're using and what TeX distribution? And welcome to TeX.SX! – egreg Sep 12 '15 at 22:00
  • Could you also specify the full path to the location where you installed ieeetran.cls? – cfr Sep 12 '15 at 22:18
  • @egreg I am using windows 10 and I am usning Texmaker 4.4.1. Thanks! – Sikandar Ejaz Sep 13 '15 at 06:05
  • @cfr this is the location where I have installed ieeetran.cls "C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX\tex\latex\IEEE\IEEEtran" – Sikandar Ejaz Sep 13 '15 at 06:06
  • You should better use the MiKTeX installer rather than doing things by hand. – egreg Sep 13 '15 at 10:00
  • @egreg I have tried the MiKTeX installer but the problem still exists. I have installed all the packages through installer but the problem still occurs. – Sikandar Ejaz Sep 13 '15 at 13:54
  • Do you refresh file name data base (go to MikTeX Settings and than click on Refresh FNDB and after then on Update Formats)? – Zarko Dec 18 '15 at 19:33
  • You have to install it as IEEEtran.cls. Not the uppercase letters! Then go to the MikTeX update manager and refresh the file name database (FNDB). It is on the top of the window. –  Dec 18 '15 at 19:51

If you are an Ubuntu, Debian or Linux Mint user try this:

sudo apt-get install texlive-publishers

You can simply download the folder in this link https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran?lang=en;

Then, you have to copy the file IEEEtran to the folder where your working file are in. Have a nice day.
