I installed MikTeX miktex-2.9.6650-1-darwin-x86_64.dmg on macOS. The subfig.sty seems to be missing, see error message below. Never had problems before. Is subfig.sty really missing?

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (MiKTeX 2.9.6650) entering extended mode (mzTab2TAILSreport_temp.tex LaTeX2e <2017-04-15> Babel <3.18> and hyphenation patterns for 0 language(s) loaded. ("/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/install/tex/latex/base/article.cls " Document Class: article 2014/09/29 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class ("/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/install/tex/latex/base/size10.clo" ))

! LaTeX Error: File `subfig.sty' not found.

  • Welcome to TeX SX! It is not installed by default by the basic installer. Launch MiKTeX Console and select Packages (you can filter the list of packages entering part of the name). – Bernard Apr 18 '18 at 20:32
  • I was under the impression that MikTeX (Windows, not Mac) could automatically detect missing *.sty files, know which package was needed, and install them on-the-fly. Does that not happen in Mac? Or is it a matter of configuring the behavior of MikTeX? –  Apr 19 '18 at 00:08
  • I can confirm that the behaviour of MikTeX under Windows is different. There, subfig.sty is downloaded on the fly, or installed by default. – lars20070 Apr 19 '18 at 05:13
  • Using MikTeX console, under Settings/General click "Always install packages on the fly." – John Kormylo Apr 19 '18 at 15:52
