Hi,
Originally I think I tried a bunch of methods for installing LaTeX, eventually finding by far the easiest method was to type
Code: Select all

and hey presto there it is.
When it came to installing packages I realised that texworks only comes with a handful, and that "texlive" was a better bet. So I tried "sudo apt-get install texlive"
Then I ended up with texworks having a totally different set of directories to texlive. When I wanted to use a particular package I could tell texworks where to find the package but it would forget every time I wanted to compile. So in order to ease this frustration I tried to move the package into the directory I thought texworks was using:
Code: Select all
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

Of course, texworks didn't recognise that I had put the package here, so I figured there must be some system files that need to tell latex to go look for the package. My next genius idea was to merge what I thought was the texlive files:
Code: Select all
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

With the directory texworks seemed to recognise.
Right now I have several 100mb of packages scattered around my ubuntu partition, texworks has totally stopped working (won't recognise any control sequences) and I have pulled out most of my hair.
I tried to "sudo apt-get remove --purge" both texlive and texworks but it didn't really do much. After reinstalling texlive I am in exactly in the same position.
Could anyone explain to me how to get Texworks to play ball? Any help would be hugely appreciated.
