Does it work without LyX (using latex only)?

If not, you may have to "compile" the package?

From

Packages such as geometry, hyphenat, and many others are typically made up of two files: a file with the extension .ins and another with the extension .dtx. There will often be a readme.txt with a brief description of the package. You should of course read this file first.

In any event, once you have copied the package files onto your machine, you still have to process them in a way that (a) tells your TEX distribution about the new style package and (b) gives you the documentation. Here's how you do the first part:

   1. Run LATEX on the .ins file. This will extract a .sty file.
2. Move the .sty file to a place where your distribution can find it.
   3. Refresh your distribution's file-name database.

Now you can extract the documentation from the .dtx file:

1. Run LATEX on the .dtx file. This will generate a .dvi file. Note that you may have to run LATEX several times before it gets the cross-references right. 2. Check to see if LATEX has produced a .idx file among the various files you now have. If you do not see this file, then you may proceed to step 5.
   3. In order to generate the index, type the following:
      \fbox{\texttt{makeindex -s gind.ist \textit{name}}}
      (where name stands for the main-file name without any extension).
   4. Run LATEX on the .dtx file once again.

5. Last but not least, make a .ps or .pdf file to increase your reading pleasure.

Sometimes you will see that a .glo (glossary) file has been produced. Run the following command between step 4 and 5:

makeindex -s gglo.ist -o name.gls name.glo

Be sure to run LATEX on the .dtx one last time before moving on to step 5.
