Installing the jmlr LaTeX Bundle

This application requires an up-to-date version of the jmlr bundle installed on your computer. This should be properly installed, not just placed in the same directory as the book. The pmlr class option was added to version 1.23, so you need to make sure you have that version (or a newer one) if this option is required (which it will be for new articles).

If you don't have the jmlr bundle installed, or your version is too old, you can use your TeX installation package manager to install or update the class files. For example, with the TeX Live update manager:

tlmgr update jmlr

(See the MikTeX documentation to find out how to do this with MiKTeX.)

This is the recommended method, but if you don't know how to do this or you are otherwise unable to do this, you can use MakeJmlrBookGUI's Tools->Fetch JMLR LaTeX Bundle menu item.

Alternatively, you can install manually:

Find out where to install TeX bundles on your computer, if you don't already know. To do this, open a command prompt or terminal and type:
```
kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME
```
This should print the name of the appropriate directory. For example, ~/texmf or C:\localtexmf
Fetch the installation bundle from http://mirror.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/jmlr.tds.zip
Extract the above ZIP file to the directory given in Step 1. For example, on Unix-like systems:
```
unzip -d ~/texmf ~/Downloads/jmlr.tds.zip
```
Update the TeX database. There should be a command called texhash or mktexlsr. Run it with the name provided in Step 1. For example:
```
mktexlsr C:\localtexmf
```
or
```
texhash ~/texmf
```
