TeXShop ⇒ Package Installation

[ac10]

Hello,

I'm trying to install chemfig to work with TeXShop on Mac OS 10.7.2.

I've downloaded the package and put it in "~/Library/texmf/tex/latex". Whenever I try to typeset though I get the corresponding error.

Code: Select all

chemfig.sty not found.

My preamble looks like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}                
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{chemfig}

Does any one know what I've done wrong? Or does chemfig not work with TeXShop?

Thanks for your time.

I got it working by putting all the package files the folder I was working in. I'm not sure whether that's the correct way to do it though...?

after coping chemfig.sty perform "texhash" command in your comand line, probably you need to be a root. After, to check, perform "kpsewhich chemfig.sty". If all is ok you will see path to your chemfig.sty. Now you can compile your .tex code
