Downloaded: xlop.sty and xlop.tex file. Which specific directory to install ?

Question

I like to install package called :xlop from CTAN I use Mac OS X 10.9 and TeXShop 3.48.

Which specific directory do I put these two files?

Do I put it at A. I have /usr/local/texlive/2013basic/textmf-local ?

B. or /usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist directory?

As you seem to be using BasicTeX I'd recommend using the package manager to install a managed version. You've got BasicTeX 2013 so you'll need to point your system to a place you can still get updates: see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25089/how-to-install-a-package-from-an-older-version-of-texlive. — Joseph Wright, Jun 29 '15 at 08:45
For Ubuntu, you can find it here: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/xlop — pmagunia, Aug 25 '15 at 00:19

All the xlop.sty and xlop.tex files are kept under this directory
```
/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base
```
Do a $sudo cp your .sty and .tex files into the above directory
Do a $ sudo texhash at the above directory.. It should give a message Updating /usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-config.ls-R... and later Done.

I don't use OSX (or whatever), but that has a 99.99% chance of being the wrong place to install any package. – jon Jul 04 '15 at 14:43
