General ⇒ Problem adding llncs package to miktech with package manager

[lovel0ve]

Hi,

I have to use a certain package called "llncs2e". I downloaded it. It consists of several *.sty, *.cls, *.dem, *.dvi, *.doc and *.txt files.

Then, I started the miktex package manager and tried to add the llncs2e file to the current repository of the package manager. But the packet manager complains that the chosen package is not alocal package repository.

I searched with google and followed the instructions of these two links

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... ex-windows
and
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... -in-miktex

I used a command prompt and these commands:
initexmf --register-root=c:\localtexmf
initexmf --update-fndb

The command prompt is not complaining about the commands that I just entered so I think it worked. But a bin folder has not been created inside C:\localtexmf, although it is mentioned in one of the links above.
So I assumed that I succeeded in establishing this folder structure and transfered *.sty and *.cls files from the llncs2e package to the C:\localtexmf directory
Back in the MikTech package manager there are no new packages (even after restarting the computer and refreshing FNDB ). Also I can not add the llncs2e package because it produces the same error message.
I am desperate. Please help me. Thank you for you help

Welcome to the forum!

Ulrike gave good instructions here:

• Make (if you haven't done it already) a folder tree
  <CHOOSEANAME>\tex\latex and add <CHOOSEANAME> as a new root in miktex->settings.
• Put the cls and the sty in
  <CHOOSEANAME>\tex\latex\llncs,
• the bst in
  <CHOOSEANAME>\bibtex\bst\llncs
• The rest looks like documentation (check the content of this .dem-file), so put them in
  <CHOOSEANAME>\doc\latex\llncs
• Then update the FNDB (miktex->settings).
