[texworks] Problem installing packages

[Ng Kah Loon]

Well, many thanks for the responses so far....but I am sorry I still
cannot get it...can anyone help to explain how I can run mktexlsr?

I am using MacBook Air and TexWorks is installed in my 60GB Macintosh
HD....I don't know what is the path....

Please assist, thank you very much!
