Open the MikTeX settings manager and under the General tab choose
the option to let it installing missing packages as needed. You
can have this done automatically or be asked for permission
first. I choose the latter because adding a package while
compiling does take a few minutes and it's nice to know why
compilation seems to have frozen (it will automatically resume
when the package is installed).<br>
