I am having the following error:

File `fullpage.sty' not found.

Which package should I install? Or more general question: when some file is missing, how should I find the right package?

You should just install the fullpage package using your distribution's package manager. Most likely this is covered under How do I update my TeX distribution? – Werner Feb 18 '15 at 21:13
Related: Find needed package with tlmgr, but preferable to just install with the package manager, as Werner says. – Paul Gessler Feb 18 '15 at 21:13
Specific to this example, you could just use \usepackage[margin=1cm]{geometry} (or 1.5cm) in your preamble. – Werner Feb 18 '15 at 21:14
@Werner, I am using Ubuntu, and I installed fullpage package from the Ubuntu Software Center. It says that it is installed, however, when I type locate fullpage.sty in the terminal nothing appears? – user3371223 Feb 18 '15 at 21:34
@user3371223: Once the package is installed, you need to update TeX's "hash table". Run mktexlsr and try to recompile... – Werner Feb 18 '15 at 22:03
@Werner I did but it is the same. I will post another question for this. Thanks! – user3371223 Feb 18 '15 at 22:08

I solved this with sudo tlmgr install preprint – Michael T Jul 31 '16 at 18:52
