Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Olwan,

welcome to the forum!

The package is called tikz, so you need to write

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tikz}
tikzpicture is the environment for an image, which means that you start a picture with \begin{tikzpicture} and end it by \end{tikzpicture}.

Package tikzpicture does not exist.

You can install packages using the package manager of your TeX-distribution.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

That means, remove this line:

\usepackage{tikzpicture}
