I want to install a new package to my Tex environment, as an example Colortbl from CTAN.
The issue is I am behind a firewall at my company so I cannot download it through my tex environment.
Going to CTAN I get a zip file with:
- colortbl.dtx
- colortbl.ins
- colortbl.pdf
- colortbl-DE.pdf
- colortbl-DE.tex
- README
How do I get the needed .sty file?
Best Answer
After it is downloaded unpack it to where you want either in the tex root folder:
Where you create the folder colortbl, or unpack it within the folder with your .tex files for the specific project where you want to use colortbl.
For Windows open
cmd
, in the folder where the unpacked files are and type:it will then generate the .sty file that you need.
