Debian can get LaTeX via apt-get. However, IEEE transactions’ style file cannot be obtained in this way. If you want to get the style file (normally named IEEEtran.cls) working in Debian, use the following steps. It is unbelievably easy.
- Make sure you have
tetex-bin
and others installed on Debian - Obtain the package
IEEEtran.tar.gz
from IEEE - Extract it
mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ieee
cp IEEEtran.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ieee
texhash
Done.
For the BibTeX part, things are similar:
- Obtain the package
IEEEtranBST.tar.gz
from IEEE - Extract it
mkdir /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bib/ieee
mkdir /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/ieee
cp IEEEtran.bst IEEEtranS.bst /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/ieee/
cp IEEEabrv.bib IEEEbcpat.bib IEEEexample.bib IEEEfull.bib /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bib/ieee/
texhash
