I'm using Tex 2.9 and Texmaker, My supervisor send me the template file with this commands:

\usepackage{XThesis} %DAL Thesis Style
\usepackage{XTocinc} %Include Table of Contents as the first entry in TOC
%                     Faculty of Grad Studies insists on this!?

Normally I had error messages because I hadn't these packages installed on my system.

How can I get these packages and install them manually?

  • these are not "standard" packages. your supervisor should have told you where to get them. as for installation, just put them into the area you are working in, and latex will find them. – barbara beeton Apr 03 '17 at 16:26
  • Google for XThesis.sty and XTocinc.sty. The names are rather unique, so chances are high that what you find are actually the right style files. It may be outdated versions, though, so the preferred variant is to ask the supervisor, as Barbara proposes. – gernot Apr 03 '17 at 16:35
  • When you have the packages, you can read this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1137/where-do-i-place-my-own-sty-or-cls-files-to-make-them-available-to-all-my-te – Rmano Apr 03 '17 at 16:52

XThesis

As user gernot recommended, I looked for the package using Google. - The result is a GitHub project with the title Undergrad thesis at Reed College (link). - I downloaded the project as you can see in the screenshot.

  • Then you have a ZIP file that you just need to unzip.
  • Since the file XThesis.sty is in the same folder as the main file, laTeX automatically will find it.

XTocinc

  • Searching for XTocinc.sty lead me to website where my browser had some doubt about my personal security (link).
  • But there is also a GitHub result which looks less hostile :) (link).

  • Download the file and place it in the same folder as the rest.

Finally...

Now you can start your document...
