How do I install the latest TeX Live 2012?

I was updating my resume and since I had recently switched to using Ubuntu and Latex I decided I would rewrite it in this environment. I downloaded a template, but when I compiled it (in TexWorks) received the following error:

! LaTeX Error: File `scrartcl.cls' not  found.

After looking this error up I found it was because a non-standard article class was being used:

\documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=11pt]{**scrartcl**}

scrartcl.cls is from the Koma-Script project, brief description here. I downloaded the package, uncompressed it and then added the path in TexWorks: Edit->Preferences->Typesetting.

Unfortunately the above error remains. I read somewhere that you could type "texdoc koma" into the terminal. This produced the message:

Sorry, no documentation found for koma.

Maybe I need to install it? The install.txt file says:

Finally, update or 'refresh' the filename database. With teTeX and teTeX-based systems this is done with the program `texconfig' or directly with 'texhash' or 'mktexlsr'.

Not really sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

  • After fixing the above problem I found I was still missing other packages (in my case wrapfig.sty).

    I think the easiest way to fix these kind of problems (at least for someone like me) is to install the [TeX Live: LaTeX supplementary packages] (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/texlive-latex-extra/filelist) from the software centre. The TeX Live packages in the software centre solved all my dependency problems.

    Hopefully this helps someone else... back to resume writing ;)
