I'm using LaTeX to write a thesis for my University, and have to use a special premade document class (rtthesis). However, I can't find a way to install this document class. I've tried typesetting with both TexShop and Texpad (my usual choice of TeX editor), and both complain that the rtthesis.cls file can't be found.

I have moved all files relating to the class to ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/rtthesis/ and ran both mktexlsr and texhash, but neither helped. When typesetting, only this error is returned:

! LaTeX Error: File `rrthesis.cls' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)

Could someone provide me with information on what I've done wrong, or what else I can do to install a new document class on Mac?

Answer 1

Have you tried to put the rtthesis.clyin the folder that contains your file tex?

It's what I do for the theme of my university... You'll just have to do that with every doc that you write with this theme...
