I’m running latex 3.14 on OSX 10.15.6 (Catlina)

First, I checked whether this package was installed on my system:
✗ sudo tlmgr install exam
Password:
tlmgr: package repository https://mirrors.concertpass.com/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
tlmgr install: package already present: exam
When I pdflatex
against the above file, I hit an error with exam.sty
not found:
✗ pdflatex easy_questions.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted write18 enabled.

Does this mean that the package is not installed? I downloaded exam.sty
from https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/tex-contrib/Macros/exam.sty and copied it into the same directory as my latex source. Now I get another error about art11.sty
not found:

How can I fix these errors? I thought it would be pretty straight-forward to install this package.
