MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ Installing tkz-graph MiKTeX

[eglucon]

I use the MiKTeX 2.7 distribution and I want to install the tkz-graph.sty package developed by Alain Matthes, which allows to draw combinatorial graphs. I already know that MiKTeX has the ability to install missing packages automatically if my computer is connected to the Internet. However, when I run the .tex file in the TeXnicCenter, it displays the error "!LaTeX Error: File ´tkz-graph.sty' not found."
My question is: Why MiKTeX does not install the package automatically?
If is the case that MiKTeX can't install tkz-graph automatically, what are the options that I have to install this package in my computer and use it through MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Hi,

...My question is: Why MiKTeX does not install the package automatically?..

Because the package is not on CTAN.

...If is the case that MiKTeX can't install tkz-graph automatically, what are the options that I have to install this package in my computer and use it through MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter?..

Page 5 of the package documentation contains instructions (in French) for manual installation: basically, copy the .sty files in a place where TeX can find them and refresh the filename database.

Pay special attention to this remark:

...Vérifier que xkeyval >= 2.5, ifthen, et tikz 2.0 sont installés car ils sont obligatoires, pour le bon fonctionnement de tkz-graph.sty et tkz-berge.sty.

Something like "Check that the packages xkeyval >= 2.5, ifthen and tikz 2.0 are installed, since thay are mandatory for tkz-graph.sty and tkz-berge.sty to work properly".

So, if your version of xkeyval is <2.5 then probably the tkz-graph package won't work in your system. You should anyway consider uninstalling MiKTeX2.7 and installing MiKTeX2.8
