Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ xcolor error

[templateuser]

Hello whoever knight in shiny armour you ma be that hopefully can come to my rescue

I can't compile the friggeri CV and I get this automatic update for xcolor, I tell it to update but it doesn't seam to bite. I downloaded the xcolor-zip and extracted it in the same folder as the template, but still all i says is

Code: Select all

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

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name: 

If anyone knows the magic trick, I'm forever grateful

Best regards

Hi,

You should be able to install the xcolor package using the package manager in your LaTeX distribution, this is the easy automatic way to install packages.

If that's not working for some reason, you will need to do it the manual way. For this, you need to download the xcolor package as a zip file from: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xcolor.zip

Then, unzip it and navigate to the directory in a command prompt/terminal window. Once in the directory, type "latex xcolor.ins". This will create the xcolor.sty for you which you can put in the same directory as the template! You can delete all the other files.

Cheers,
Vel
