Increase the size of tick marks plots?

Questions
1

I’m trying to increase the size of tick marks in my mathematica plots. I used the command

SetOptions[LinTicks, MajorTickLength -> {0.02, 0}, MinorTickLength -> {0.013, 0}];

which I found online. It seems to be no longer supported, but it changed my tick marks.
I tried to restore the original settings using:

Apply[SetOptions[Plot, PlotStyle -> Automatic, 
   FrameTicksStyle -> Automatic, TicksStyle -> Automatic, 
   FrameTicks -> Automatic, Ticks -> Automatic]];

However it did not work. Any ideas gratefully received?

I don’t understand the purpose of that Apply. However, I would try quitting Mathematica and restarting it.

Do you mean this?

Plot[x^2/5, {x, 0, 10}, 
 Ticks -> {{{2, , .1}, {4, , .2}, {6, "A", .25}, {8, , .15}, {10, , .5}}, Automatic},
 TicksStyle -> Red]

Hi Robert,

The LinTicks function you are trying to use is a part of "CustomTicks`" package which itself is a part of "SciDraw`" package which you can find here. Read CustomTicksGuide on how to use it. You can also be interested in this discussion:
