How you should install a LaTeX package differs per LaTeX distribution.

Note that the name of your distributions package may be different from the LaTeX package, although often they are the same. If unsure, check https://ctan.org/pkg/packagename which package you have to install to get your LaTeX package.

Installing a package when you have the MiKTeX distribution

Open the MiKTeX console, click Packages and search for the right package to install it. For more information, see https://miktex.org/howto/miktex-console

Installing a package when you have the TeX Live distribution

Open a terminal window (in IntelliJ, click Terminal at the bottom) and run tlmgr install packagename. tlmgr stands for Tex Live ManaGeR.
