General ⇒ How do I get the bbold package?

[drongo]

Where do I get the 'bbold.sty' package? I'm trying to write 1's and 0's in blackboard bold, like this

Code: Select all

\mathbb{1}, \mathbb{0}

At the university where I work, I can use kile and compile the latex code just fine. But on my home computer, it says:

Code: Select all

'bbold.sty' not found. \usepackage

I can't use the amssymb.sty package for this because it only supports blackboard bold font for letters, not numbers.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi drongo,

welcome to the board!

You could download bbold.sty from http://ctan.org/pkg/bbold.

Instead of downloading and manually installing, I recommend to use the package manager of your LaTeX installation. This could be mpm (if you use MiKTeX) or tlmgr (if you use TeX Live).
