Where put mcode.sty

Question

This question has been asked and supposedly answered before, but I can't make sense of the answers so I thought I'd ask my own question and hope for the best.

So, I use mcode.sty a lot and as things are now I have to copy that file into every folder where I have tex files that use mcode. What "central place" can I put it so I don't have to copy it all the time?

What I've tried:

sudo mkdir /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mcode

sudo cp ~/.../mcode.sty /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mcode

It doesn't work.

have you tried mkdir ~/texmf/tex/latex/ and then mv mcode.sty ~/texmf/tex/latex/?.... — cmhughes, Dec 12 '16 at 19:20
Still relevant (and/or duplicate): Where do I place my own .sty or .cls files, to make them available to all my .tex files? — Werner, Dec 12 '16 at 19:31
A jungle of answers, none as clear and to-the-point as cmhughes' answer. — Erik Vesterlund, Dec 12 '16 at 20:00

You can use

mkdir ~/texmf/tex/latex/

and then (assuming you're in the directory that contains mcode.sty)

mv mcode.sty ~/texmf/tex/latex/

See Where do I place my own .sty or .cls files, to make them available to all my .tex files? for further details.
