I'm hosting a ShareLaTeX instance to enable some colleagues to cooperatively write their papers. Now one of them brought to my attention, that apparently a whole lot of pretty common packages are missing from the installation, prompting a LaTeX Error: File `package.sty' not found. error.
This happens for e.g. tikz, microtype and aastex. Working are for example amsmath, hyperref and graphicx. I just tried some packages I could think of, these have been chosen quite randomly (apart from being somewhat common).
My ShareLaTeX installation was done via their Docker image. Is there anything I could try installing within the container to get access to the additional packages without having to upload the sty files into my ShareLaTeX project?
