When I compile my tex file in linux using latex filename, I get the error that changepage.sty is missing. How should I install the package?

thanks a lot.

  • It depends on your Linux version and your TeX installation (from Linux repositories, or TeX Live). Which is it? – Stefan Kottwitz Aug 17 '15 at 16:12

  • thanks for your answer. How can I find out about Tex installation? (It is not my own system, I do not know how they have installed it) – Pegah Aug 17 '15 at 16:14
  • @Pegah pdftex --version will give us a reasonable clue, also command -v pdftex – Joseph Wright Aug 17 '15 at 16:15

  • @JosephWright should be from Linux repositories. – Pegah Aug 17 '15 at 16:28

    If you don't have admin rights on the machine, might be easiest to download the package from CTAN and install it into your TEXMFHOME tree. – cfr Aug 17 '15 at 17:09
  • @cfr thanks for your answer. I have admin rights. What is the other way? – Pegah Aug 17 '15 at 17:11
  • Then the best thing to do is to install the relevant package in the same way you installed other parts of TeX Live i.e. using your distro's package manager, if that's how you installed TeX Live. Which package this is depends on how the maintainers have bundled up different bits of TeX Live, I'm afraid. – cfr Aug 17 '15 at 20:52
