General ⇒ algorithmic | Package File not found

[daiyue]

hi all,

I texified my tex file, and this error message pops up:

LaTex Error: File 'algorithmic.sty' not found

I also tried to download it from all possible package servers from UK, but didn't success, and downloaded 'algorithmicx', 'algorithm2e', 'algorithm', but they don't include the file. so what should i do?

i tried install algorithm, i know it contains algorithmic; but i couldn't locate "local package repository"; so how to locate it?

cheers

Hi,

welcome to the board!

algorithmic.sty belongs to the algorithms package, not the s at the end of the name.

Try installing the algorithm package with the package manager of your TeX distribution. What TeX distribution are you using?

but i couldn't locate "local package repository"; so how to locate it?

A "local package repository" is stored locally on your hard disk or CD. If you don't have such repository on your hard disk or on CD, try switching to a remote repository, i.e. a repository which is located on the Internet.
