Others ⇒ algorithm | Package not found

[swagatopablo]

I am using Kile version 2.1.0 on Ubunutu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). Whenever I am trying to compile a script, it says there is an error.

! LaTeX Error: File `algorithm.sty' not found.

The package is included by the \usepackage command. I was under the impression that all the necessary style files are included automatically whenever I install Kile (so it happened when I used Kile in KDE on Windows). But I can't do the same on Ubuntu. Please help me on how to get the algorithm package.

Hi,

if you installed TeX from the Ubuntu repositories, install also the package texlive-science, such as by

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install texlive-science

at the command prompt, or do it via the software center or Synaptic.

If you installed the real TeX Live, use the TeX Live Manager aka tlmgr to install the algorithms package.
