I'm trying to use texliveonfly to automatically install my dependencies. However, most of the packages I used are located in a preamble.sty file which is in the same folder as the main.tex file for my whole document. When I run 

texliveonfly main.tex

I get,

! LaTeX Error: File `preamble.sty' not found.

I've placed a symbolic link in the TEXMFHOME because I've read it here. But it did not work.

Any help would be appreciated :) Thank you.

  • you say that the file is preamble.sty but the error shows preambUle.sty – David Carlisle Mar 21 '19 at 22:34
  • Ha yeah ! It's copy pasta error ! My file is called preambule.sty (which is French). I forgot to modify the error line ! It is done now, thank you! – Alex Mar 21 '19 at 22:52

  • Not a frequent user of linux but what is the response to kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME note it should end /texmf then your sty files should be in ~/texmf/tex/latex/local/ (which is one expected TDS location) your cls files can also go there and to double up setting $TEXINPUTS= texmf location : including : other folders should help see related questions such as https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/411418/texinputs-and-texmaker-latexila –  Mar 22 '19 at 14:32
  • First I've tried adding my preamble to the location specified by kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME and the file preamble.sty could still not be found. Then I tried changing TEXMFHOME to the folder of my project, still did not work. – Alex Mar 22 '19 at 14:47
  • The key is the manager needs to know so tex live manager needs a command such as texhash or similar and in such cases its can be worth to exit and re-enter (logon or reboot) to check if it was / still is registered at start-up ALSO note its not always the texmf folder but the latex/local below it –  Mar 22 '19 at 14:51
  • Ok, I got it. My document is organized in subfolers like Thesis is the home folder and contains Main, Intro, Chap 1, etc .. And Main countais main.tex and preamble.sty I was running : texliveonfly Main/main.tex and got the error. I tried running it from Main folder and it worked ! (cd Main && texliveonfly main.tex) – Alex Mar 22 '19 at 15:32
