Theses, Books, Title pages

I have been using LaTeX for about a year, but have never used a template where there were "missing packages" I needed to install. When I try to compile main.tex, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

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

How do I make it so LaTeX can find 'vmargin.sty'? For some of the other packages I read a help page that said I needed to install:

miktex-zzdb1-2.9.tar.lzma

miktex-zzdb2-2.9.tar.lzma

along with the appropriate .tar.lzma file for each of the packages. However, when I go to the CTAN site, there are only .cab files for vmargin and subfigure. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

The easiest way to fix this is to update your LaTeX distribution to the latest version and then open the package manager and update all your packages to the newest versions.

Good luck!
