How can I add a package, e.g., program into Texmaker in Ubuntu?
I tried to include it as follows but it didn't work:

\usepackage{program}

Assuming you haven't done it, the command sudo apt-get install texlive-full in terminal gives you all the packages in the Ubuntu repositories, which should give you the package you seek.

It is a pretty large chunk of files, so be sure to have enough space. The drawback with this method is of course that you get a lot of packages you might never use, and documentation. To prevent this a search for texlive in Synaptic gives you the possibility to install the bundles you want. The description of the package states which tex-packages that comes with it.

Another possibility is to install "vanilla" TeX. It is described here. This gives you better package managing.

Have you tried this in a terminal?

$ sudo apt-cache search texlive french
 texlive-doc-fr - TeX Live: French documentation
 texlive-lang-french - TeX Live: French

$sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-french

This example should work in a well installed TeX Live:

\documentclass[french,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
\section*{L'histoire de la France au Moyen Âge}
L'histoire de la France au Moyen Âge se 
caractérise par plusieurs périodes et événements 
marquants durant dix siècles: de Clovis à 
Charles VIII, en passant par la fin de la 
Gaule romaine quand elle se détache de 
l'Empire romain, la guerre de Cent Ans, 
l'unification de la Gaule qui, au terme d'une
longue genèse, deviendra un État spécifique, 
le Royaume de France. Celui-ci apportera l'essor
 du christianisme, des campagnes, de la 
 population française, la renaissance 
 urbaine accompagnée par l'apparition 
 et l'affirmation des universités, la 
 formation de la langue française et 
 le développement du commerce (foires 
 et marchés).

[Tex/LaTex] How to add a document class to Texmaker on Mac

Open a Finder window; then press Command-Shift-G and in the box type

~/Library

In the window that opens, create a folder named

texmf

Open this folder and create inside it

tex

Inside this one create

latex

and again inside this create

myuniversityclass

The final path is

~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/myuniversityclass

The last name is arbitrary, choose whatever you want (no spaces, ever). In this last folder place the class file provided by your university (something like universityname.cls). Then TeX programs will find it.

For the BibTeX file (something like universityname.bst) you have to create a slightly different path:

~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/myuniversitybst

and place the .bst file in the last folder.

Other files might require a different place.
