Using russian in LaTex

[funvengeance]

so I am trying to use russian in LaTex in texmaker with

\usepackage[russian]{babel}

but I get this error


! Package babel Error: Unknow option `russian'. Either you misspelled it

so I tried

sudo zypper install texlive-latex-recommended
Loading repository data...

Reading installed packages...

Package 'texlive-latex-recommended' not found.


and

sudo zypper install texlive-lang-russian

root's password:

Loading repository data...

Reading installed packages...

Package 'texlive-lang-russian' not found.




in babel.sty

\DeclareOption{russian}{\bbl@load@language{russianb}}


What Do i do ?

I think the relevant package is texlive-babel-russian which, if installed, places the documentation in /usr/share/texmf/doc/generic/babel-russian.

This suggests a number of other commands should precede the command you give.

So, have you installed the relevant packages and have you read the relevant documentation in russianb.pdf?
