I am rather new to the process of preparing a manuscript according to a
journal's template. I'm trying to prepare my piece for submission to the
IJNT. I wonder whether people here can help; I've put the contents of
the INJT zip folder in the same directory as my piece.I imagined that
the pre-amble need only consist of \documentclass{ws-ijnt}. I get 3
errors and no output file; the log file reads

LaTeX Font Info: Overwriting math alphabet `\mathfrak' in version `bold'
(Font) U/euf/m/n --> U/euf/b/n on input line 106.
)

! LaTeX Error: File `rotating.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
1098 strings out of 493634

As we have no clue what an "INJT zip folder" is or why it's needed, it's
hard to help here.

If that's what their instructions say, that's what I would assume.

You only show one error below. What are the other two?

That's a comment, not an error.

That's clearly an error: you don't have rotating.sty installed and you
need it.

As you don't say what platform this is (Mac/Win/Linux) nor what
distribution of TeX you have, it's not possible to say why the rotating
package isn't installed. But you can download it from CTAN.

That's not an error either: it's the location in the file at which LaTeX
noticed the error of rotating.sty being missing.

Can you install rotating.sty and see if that fixes it; otherwise
construct a Minimal [Non-]Working Example which illustrates the problem
that we can run on our own machines to test?

My guess is that it contains the class file for the journal, perhaps
also a template article.

Right. Presumably the journals package loads other packages.

Thankyou - I did the download from this page
https://ctan.org/pkg/rotfloat
but was unsure what to do after that, so I just ran the document build.
I'm on Windows 8.1.
The log file now reads:

You can use the ctan package, but it is much easier and less error-prone
to use Miktex's package manager, which downloads and installs it with a
few mouse clicks, and can later also update everything etc. FWIW, I'd
first update Miktex, then download new packages.

And that template from the journal would usually include a working
example tex document, which you should try out. Read the README etc.
files that came in the zip file to find out.

Sorry to be so ignorant, but precsisely which mouse clicks are these?

I'd have thought the GUI was self-explanatory, but here you go:

Start the the "miktex console" program, click on "update" and follow the
instructions, when it's fully updated, click on "packages", select
"rotating" (or whatever else package is missing), and hit "+".

If you don't have the miktex console program (it's rather new), run
miktex's old "update" program (twice), then continue with the obove.

Good luck!
