I am currently a new user of TeX studio, so i really don't know how to install packages ,particularly TikZ package, to TeX studio on my Computer. Also I am very open to suggestions about how can I start learning LaTex.
Thanks.

TeX Live has a package manager (aka TeX Live Manager or tlmgr) to install most free packages. longtable is a free package and (you can see this at the link) there's a corresponding TeX Live package. So you can install longtable simply via the TeX Live Manager.
And if you've done a complete TeX Live installation, longtable should already be installed.
Have a look at the mactex-wiki for more information about the TeX Live Manager.
And there's an additional, special Mac OS X graphical interface to tlmrgr called TeX Live Utility, aka mactlmgr.

Since http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ is an Apache directory listing you can try downloading packages with wget. For example if you want to download l3experimental where xcoffins is a subfolder you can invoke wget like
wget --cut-dir=4 -np -R "index.html*" -nH -P ~/texmf -r http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3experimental/
or
wget --cut-dir=6 -np -R "index.html*" -P ~/texmf/tex/latex -r http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3experimental/
this.
-P ~/dir/in/home/directory/specifies the local directory wherewgetshould put your files.-nHtellswgetthat you don't want to create directories named after the host i.e.~/texmf/www.tug.org/*/*/looks not so nice and latex won't find anything under~/texmf/www.tug.org. But you can omit-nHand change the local directory to-P ~/textmf/tex/latex. Then you have a seperate directory tree that latex also searches.- whereby
--cut-dir=xmeans that you don't want to create the first x folders of the uri in your local directory (you want to create~/texmf/tex/latex/l3experimental/or~/texmf/tex/latex/www.tug.org/l3experimental/instead of~/textmf/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3experimental). -Rinstructswgetto exclude all files beginning withindex.html.-ris for recursive fetch- the argument of
-Pis the directory where you want to save all those things -npexcludes all parent directories ofl3experimental(of course you can find a more detailed description in the manual pages ofwget)
but generally be careful if you download things with wget recursively it could mess up a whole directory tree. I would recommend you to first download the files in a temporary directory (for example with -P ~/texmftemporary) where you can examine the downloaded directory tree.
Since latex also searches recursively for packages in ~/texmf/tex/latex you don't have to bother if xcoffins is a subfolder of any other folder/folders.
Of course you can redefine things further if you write a little bash, perl or whatever script that is based on the above command.
Maybe this helps you!?

If you are on Windows, you can download & install
LaTeXpackages using either MikTeX or TeXLive.If you are on Linux, you can download & install
LaTeXpackages using TeXLive. Another way is open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run commandsudo apt install texlive.Installing
LaTeXpackages require good internet speed and disk space (more than 2 GB).To learn
LaTeX, I would suggest you to look into Overleaf.
