Dear users,

Where should I install the macros from e.g. elsart to make them accessable to lyx? Put another way, what is the search path for lyx?


LyX looks for LaTeX packages the same way LaTeX does. You can install the elsart package either in your texmf file tree or your localtexmf file tree. For instance, I would park it in /localtexmf/tex/latex/elsart/ on my system (after creating the bottom level directory). Then update your LaTeX file directory -- on some systems, that means running texhash, but for instance in MiKTeX that means running the MiKTeX Options program and clicking Refresh now in the General tab. Then start LyX and, if you added a class file (as opposed to style files), do a reconfigure.
