How to install a package (Windows)?
Method 1: When you install MikTeX, all the necessary packages get installed. When one builds the .tex file, TeXstudio gives us the option to Install. We just need to click on the 'Install' button.
Method 2: Download .sty file
Google the style file you want. E.g. setspace sty. It will usually be the first link in the result and it would look like 'https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/.....'
Go to that link and download that .sty file in the same folder as that of your .tex file. A good way would be to create a folder called mystyles in your 'home' directory or 'C drive' or 'D drive'. You can use this folder to store all the sty files. E.g. /home/firuza/mystyles/
While including the package in your .tex file, mention the entire path \usepackage{/home/firuza/mystyles/setspace}
Method 3: Install using MikTeX
