Try re-opening $\TeX$studio. If this does not help, there is still the option to manually install the required packages from the Mik$\TeX$ Console or similar distribution-specific management software.
## MikTeX Console is already running
If this error occurs while opening the MikTeX Console, open the Task Manager, search for “MikTeX Console”, select the entry in the table, and terminate the task by a click on the respective button. Then, open MikTeX Console again.
## I want to use my own tools.
Sure, feel free. We provide instructions for [CoCalc](./cocalc-instructions.md) and [VS Code/Codium](./vs-code-instructions.md). Any other editor will do if you know your ways around the terminal. In essence, all we do here is this:
```bash
pdflatex main.tex
lualatex main.tex
biber main
pdflatex main.tex
pdflatex main.tex
lualatex main.tex
lualatex main.tex
```
Just run `pdflatex main.tex` twice if you do not have any citations. Or have a look at XeTeX, LuaTeX, … ([numerous other tools available](https://www.tug.org/interest.html#free)).
