TeX - LaTeX Asked by kijawo2686 on February 18, 2021
Good Morning/Evening to all,
I’m new to Latex and so I’ve installed TexLive 2020 plus TeXstudio on my Ubuntu 20. Everything seems to be Ok, however, I keep getting errors in TeXStudio that package files can’t be found. For example, I’ve installed biblatex using tlmgr and now if I enter:
tlmgr install biblatex
I get :
tlmgr install: package already present: biblatex
But when I try to use the package by typing usepackage{biblatex} in my editor I get the error:
File `biblatex.sty’ not found. usepackage
I’ve added the paths to my .bashrc file and when type
echo $PATH I get:
/usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-linux
As the first option; Which seems to be standard
When I use kpsewhich biblatex.sty I get:
/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.sty
Can anyone help me ? I’m going insane over here.
There is your problem: I've added the paths to my .bashrc this is actually wrong.
Yes this works for everything you start from the commandline. But if you start a program like testudio from a menu or by double clicking a file, then .bashrc will never be involved.
Solution, also add the PATH change you your .profile file, log out and in again.
.profile is read/executed at login and all subsequent processes (including texstudio) can see the env variables it sets up.
Additionally, as Sigur mentions in a comment, the fact that texstudio finds LaTeX, suggests that you now have two LaTeX installations, one from Ubuntu and the upsteam TL2020. This might have come as a suggested bundle when you installed texstudio or from earlier work.
