For example, you might need FoilTeX. Here are the steps involved in getting the package up and running if you use teTeX or a web2c based distribution. \layout Enumerate Get the package from CTAN. \layout Enumerate Read the file \family typewriter texmf.cnf \family default . It describes how to add a local \family typewriter texmf \family default directory; follow the instructions. You need to insert the name of your local \family typewriter texmf \family default directory in \family typewriter texmf.cnf \family default . Under Linux, \family typewriter /usr/local \family default is a logical place to install software that did not come with your distribution , so you might use \family typewriter /usr/local/texmf \family default . To find \family typewriter texmf.cnf \family default , run: \family typewriter kpsewhich texmf.cnf \layout Enumerate Create your local \family typewriter texmf \family default directory (e.g. \family typewriter /usr/local/texmf \family default ). You must follow the directory stucture of your existing \family typewriter texmf \family default directory (for example, latex packages should go under \family typewriter /usr/local/texmf/tex/latex/ \family default ). \layout Enumerate Install the package. For example, you would unpack the foiltex tarball and create \family typewriter /usr/local/texmf/tex/latex/foiltex \family default . The \family typewriter foiltex \family default directory contains various files. \layout Enumerate Do: \family typewriter texhash \family default . This should create \family typewriter /usr/local/texmf/ls-R \layout Enumerate >From within LyX, do: \family sans \bar under O \bar default ptions\SpecialChar \menuseparator \bar under R \bar default econfigure \family default . Restart LyX. \layout Standard Now you should see your new package---for example \family sans slides (FoilTeX) \family default ---under \family sans \bar under L \bar default ayout\SpecialChar \menuseparator \bar under D \bar default ocument \family default , field \family sans \bar under C \bar default lass \family default . \the_end
