    Just use the MiKTeX package manager to install missing packages. – Mensch Mar 13 '16 at 11:03
  • I think http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/196555/miktex-package-installation is a better choice for the duplicate. Packages should only be manually installed as a last resort. The TeX distribution's package manager should be used wherever possible. – Paul Gessler Mar 14 '16 at 01:19

If you only need the seperate downloaded packages for one project only, you can store them in the project folder.

The correct way to install packages using the MiKTeX Package Manager:

Start -> All Programs -> MiKTeX 2.9 -> Maintenance -> Package Manager

In the program choose either all needed packages by selecting them via

CTRL+click

and then start the download from

Task -> Install

Else you can download packages by

Edit -> Select All

or

Edit -> Select Installable Packages

The download is started as explained above. Uninstalling packages is analogue to the install procedure.
