Tex For Mac
Here are the steps to install TeX Live first and then SW without the TeX Live install:
It may be necessary to disable any antivirus software. If you are behind a firewall, this may cause problems and prevent using the over the network TeX Live installation (see the note below).
1. For Windows, visit http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html. On that page, click the link to install-tl-windows.exe to download the install file.
For Mac, visit http://tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html. Click the link to MacTeX.pkg to download this install file.
2. When the download is complete, double-click to start the install. Follow the default installation instructions. Wait until the installation is complete, which may take an hour or more.
3. Start the SW/SWP installation. Be sure to use the current installer from our Downloads page.
4. On the Select Components dialog turn off 'TeX Live Network Install'
5. Use the default selections for the remaining dialogs. Wait for the installation to complete. Be sure to Activate to enable full functionality.
Sublime Text is probably one of the most famous text editors available for Mac.
- Download TeXstudio for Mac - Powerful Mac app designed to help you create and edit LaTeX documents in an user friendly environment, while employing efficient editing tools. Based on this system, the LaTeX format includes all the fundamental functionalities of the TeX language, but also provides.
- To use TeX on the Mac, it suffices to install BasicTeX and a front end. To make life easier for users who want to use BasicTeX instead of the full TeX Live, we include links below to various pieces of MacTeX that can be added as needed.
NOTE: Some firewalls prevent using the over the network install. You can instead download a .iso image to install TeX Live. See http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-iso.html for information.
Additional install details
For Windows
There have been reports that using the download file install-tl-windows.exe still results in errors during installation. As suggested by the download page, an alternative is to download the zip archive install-tl.zip. Unzip the archive into a directory and in that directory run one of the .bat files that launches the installer. Using the .bat file install-tl-advanced.bat generally is more successful. Install time using this method can be an hour or more, depending on your network connection speed.
For Macintosh
The installer opens a terminal window and you will be asked for your password to be able to continue the installation.
MiKTeX for Mac is distributed as a disk image (.dmg
) file. If you double click the disk image file, you will see a Finder window:
To install MiKTeX, simply drag the MiKTeX icon onto the Applications
shortcut icon. This will install the MiKTeX Console
application and essential support files (executables, frameworks, configuration files).
Finishing the setup
Before you can use MiKTeX, you have to finish the setup. Click the MiKTeX Console
icon in Launchpad to start MiKTeX Console:

Now is the time to make a decision:
Do you want to set up a private (for you only) TeX installation, or do you want to set up a shared (system-wide) TeX installation?
You probably want to choose the first option. Hp drivers 4480.
The second option makes sense if you are the administrator of a multi-user system. If this is the case and if you expect that some of your users would like to work with MiKTeX, then you should install MiKTeX system-wide.
Click one of the two buttons if you have made your decision.
Upgrade option
If you have just installed MiKTeX, then you have the option to upgrade your installation to a standard TeX system. Just click the Upgrade
button. Please be aware that this starts a ~200MB download.
Alternatively, you can turn on the auto-install feature and let MiKTeX install missing packages on-the-fly. This will help you to keep your TeX installation as minimal as possible (“Just enough TeX”).
Fixing PATH
issues
Tex Editor For Mac
Executables like luatex
have been installed in ~/bin
. This folder is usually not in the search path for executables, i.e., two additional steps might be necessary:
Tex For Macos
- Add the
~/bin
directory to the environment variablePATH
(see here, for details). - If you use TeXshop, you have to set some preferences (see here, for details).
Removing MiKTeX
