I have certain codes written in LaTeX with several diagrams in tikz-cd. I must compile these codes in other computer (with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and when I compile appear this error:

tikz-cd.sty not found

What should I do?

I have already tried downloading the tikz-cd.sty file and putting it in home/myuser/texmf and it doesn't work.

  • If you are not familiar with TDS (TeX Directory Structure), copy the file tikz-cd.sty in your current working directory. – Akira Kakuto Apr 05 '15 at 06:23
  • @AkiraKakuto Thanks, but now a new wrror appears: "I can't find file tikzlibraryquotes.code.tex" but I haven't a file with that name in order to do the same. Do you know what should I do? – user Apr 05 '15 at 07:21
  • You have to install pgf-tikz. Please ask ubuntu people. – Akira Kakuto Apr 05 '15 at 08:23
  • @AkiraKakuto I have already installed pgf-tikz. Last time I asked a question regarding a latex package in askubuntu I was asked to post that question here. So.. – user Apr 05 '15 at 08:49
  • Did you create ls-Rs by sudo mktexlsr? – Akira Kakuto Apr 05 '15 at 08:53
  • @AkiraKakuto Probably I didn't. I'm not sure what are you talking about (I'm sorry, I'm relatively new in linux/GNU) – user Apr 05 '15 at 09:11
  • @AkiraKakuto Maybe you could explain to me or indicate to me some place where I could read it? I would really appreciate that – user Apr 05 '15 at 09:13

You got two possibilities:

  • Use Ubuntu repositories; install tikz-cd via the Ubuntu package managing, such as by

    sudo apt-get install texlive-pictures

  • Download from CTAN, but then you need to update the PGF package as well! Because tikz-cd requires TikZ 3.0, specifically its quotes library.

You could consider changing to a current original TeX Live. Staying with Ubuntu's TeX version is pretty safe, as long as you don't add packages with newer dependencies.

If you are using TexLive (mine is 2015), you may try the following commands:

sudo tlmgr install pgf
sudo tlmgr install tikz-cd
galoget
