Well I just started using TeXStudio on ubuntu, after having used it for years on windows.

On windows whenever a package is missing TexStudio will ask me to download that package from ctan (if it is available there), however on ubuntu this seems to be missing.

For example a simple documentclass hitec is missing, and it errors without giving me an option to set the search repositories.

  • This doesn't actually have anything at all to do with TeXStudio, but the TeX distribution. The autoinstallation on Windows is a feature of MikTeX, while you're probably running some version of TeX Live on Ubuntu. There does exist a method for automatic package installation in TeX Live, texliveonfly. See e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/50464/ https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/291317/ https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/463842/ – Torbjørn T. Jul 29 '19 at 20:13
  • @TorbjørnT. well on windows texstudio indeed automatically installed miktex. However I have a hard time finding what texstudio actually uses under the hood. – paul23 Jul 29 '19 at 20:14
  • If you look in the .log file of any .tex document you've compiled, it's written in the very first line. – Torbjørn T. Jul 29 '19 at 20:16
  • just use tlmgr install hitec and it will be installed in texlive. – David Carlisle Jul 29 '19 at 21:07
