Good day to all,

I want this extension of the latest updates. however, from CTAN the file is in .dtx and I am not well versed to convert to .sty.

Anybody could advice? or I do appreciate if someone could share the .sty file here.

Thank you in advance.

    welcome to tex.se! geometry is a part of any latex distribution. instead adding it manually rather use tools of your latex installation to load it or upgrade it. for example, miktex provide utility console by which you can easy do aforementioned. – Zarko Nov 08 '18 at 14:28
  • Unless you have a very good reason to I would strongly urge you not to install packages from CTAN manually. Many TeX distributions have facilities to automatically install and update packages (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/55437/35864) and these should be preferred. If you install packages manually you can risk version incompatibilities that are usually avoided when you let your TeX distribution manage things. – moewe Nov 08 '18 at 14:52

According to Readme.md:

[manual installation]
  * To get geometry.sty out of geometry.dtx
        $ tex geometry.dtx 
    or  $ (la)tex geometry.ins (after first extraction)
  * To build documentation
        $ latex geometry.dtx  
    or  $ latex geometry.drv (after first extraction)
  * Put the derived files in the proper directories:
      -  tex/latex/geometry/geometry.sty
      -  doc/latex/geometry/geometry.pdf
      -  source/latex/geometry/geometry.dtx

So tex geometry.dtx should do the trick.
