installation of a .bst file

Post by sdaza »

Hi everyone,
I have tried to install specific bibliography styles coping the corresponding .bst the files in the bst directory (bibtex), but it didn't work. This is the link of the styles:

Any ideas? I am using Windows 7.

Thank you in advance.
Sebastian

I don't use Windows or MikTeX, but assuming you're using MikTeX, try following the instructions given here for creating a Local TeX Tree, and put the .bst files in <tree root>\bibtex\bst\Sociology, e.g., C:\Local TeX Files\bibtex\bst\misc.

Be sure to add the root in MiKTeX options, as explained in the link above, and refresh the file name database afterwards.

It didn't work. I am using MikTex 2.8 and I got: not a TDS-compliant root directory.

Any ideas?

Now that the problem seems to be solved (in some way), please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.


Best regards and welcome to the board
