install beamer under Miktex

Hi, there,
my question is a little off the theme, but I do not have other options.
Could someone help me install beamer under Miktex? I already have Miktex intalled, now I wanna install Beamer; the manual says as follows:
2.2.2 MiKTeX
For MiKTEX, use the update wizard to install the (latest versions of the) packages called latex-beamer,
pgf, and xcolor.

but it don't work.

thanks a lot!
samn

Re: install beamer under Miktex

You would probably do better to take your question to a dedicated
LaTeX forum, e.g.:
http://www.latex-community.org/

However, you are probably best off using MikTeX Update Wizard as
recommended. You can do this in a number of ways, including typing
c:\> mpm
at a standard command prompt (provided the MiKTeX binaries folder is
in your path - you can check by typing
c:\> path
at the command prompt). Or you can access it directly from your
Windows Start Menu under the MikTeX group of programs (it is called
"Update").

Else, you can download Beamer from here:
http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/
and put it in your MikTeX directory "../MiKTeX2.8/tex/latex/". Also,
see above link for an example of how to use it once installed.

Isn't beamer included in the Miktex distribution? I use it and I'm
pretty sure I never downloaded it anywhere separately (I use Miktex
2.7).

Best,
Nils

Re: install beamer under Miktex

Indeed. You can easily test whether you can avoid the hassle by
compiling a skeleton Beamer document (as from the link above -
http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/) :

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{beamerthemesplit}

\title{Example Presentation Created with the Beamer Package}
\author{Till Tantau}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}

\frame{\titlepage}

\section[Outline]{}
\frame{\tableofcontents}

\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Overview of the Beamer Class}
\frame
{
\frametitle{Features of the Beamer Class}

\begin{itemize}
\item<1-> Normal LaTeX class.
\item<2-> Easy overlays.
\item<3-> No external programs needed.
\end{itemize}
}
\end{document}

" Isn't beamer included in the Miktex distribution?"

Depends on whether you do the "complete" or "basic" installation.

No, there is no beamer in my case. Thanks for your help!

RE: install beamer under Miktex

In reply to this post by Tirthankar Chakravarty

Hi, I followed your instruction, but did not work. My Miktex is WinEdt, where I cannot find the " .../MiKTeX2.8/tex/latex/"

But when I put the beamer into a folder, and there is an error message saying ' the fold does not seem to be a local package repository '

do you what's going there?

thanks!

" My Miktex is WinEdt,"

WinEdt is probably your editor, quite distinct from your Miktex
installation. You should look at the directories in some path like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.7". Still, this list is not about Latex...

RE: install beamer under Miktex

In reply to this post by sun samn

The " .../MiKTeX2.8/tex/latex/" in your case could be " .../MiKTeX2.2/tex/latex/" (I'm guessing).

I don't know about MiKTeX 2.2, but for me (MiKTeX 2.7 or 2.8 and Windows) MiKTeX came with a program called Browse Packages. If I want a package, I open Browse Packages, find the package, press the "+", and that's it.

I might then go to Settings program > General > Refresh FNDB and Update Formats. This step might not be necessary if you use the Browse Packages, but I do think it's necessary if you install the packages on your own.
