I want to include a table in a tex file and I get this error: ! LaTeX Error: File `standalone.sty' not found. Type X to quit or to proceed, or enter new name. (Default extension: sty) Enter file name: ! Emergency stop.

I have tries to install the standalone fille from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/standalone but I can't install it. 

 \documentclass[11pt]{exam}
    \usepackage[french,english]{babel}
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}%pour inclure documents 
    \usepackage{caption}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage[capposition=top]{floatrow}
    \usepackage[top=1.5in, bottom=1.5in, left=2cm, right=2cm]{geometry}
    \usepackage{multirow}
    \usepackage{dcolumn}
    \usepackage{standalone}
\begin{document}
....
\input {pi_tableau_diagnosis_adult}
\end{document}

    Why don't you install it with your package manager? – Bernard Dec 08 '14 at 00:17

    you could get standalone from ctan (or better if using texlive or miktex) from the package manager, but why do you need standalone to input a table?? – David Carlisle Dec 08 '14 at 00:18
  • Bernard and David : I tried to find the package manager with Miktex but I didn't find it. I dont know why I get that error. It says standalone.sty not found. How cand I find it ?, Mico how do you do that (load it via documentclass? – Nicolas Dec 08 '14 at 00:27
  • @Mico It is also a package. When you include the file in your main document, you load it as a package. When you compile it on its own, you load it as the document class. – cfr Dec 08 '14 at 00:28

    You definitely should use MiKTeX's manager. Or set it up to install missing files on-the-fly. – cfr Dec 08 '14 at 00:29
  • When I compile I get a windows saing: that the tex/latex/standalone/standalone.sty is missing. And the It istall it from the directory, but apparently It didn't find it – Nicolas Dec 08 '14 at 00:32
  • I don't use miktex so can't help with the details but searching for miktex package manager here should show lots of examples. But why do you need standalone, what is in pi_tableau_diagnosis_adult.tex / why can you not just \input it normally/ – David Carlisle Dec 08 '14 at 00:34
  • Hi everybody. I used the Miktex package manager to install standalone package and also other 3 packages (related to standalone), it is not difficult and now it works !!!!! Thank you all !!!! ;-) – Nicolas Dec 08 '14 at 00:42
  • How can I put that the question was answered ? – Nicolas Dec 08 '14 at 00:45
  • yes but this question was specifically about standalone and we finally found that using the package manager we can do it. – Nicolas Dec 08 '14 at 01:02
