This is the R&A page on installing, configuring andrunningTeX on Mac OS X using i-Installer for theinstallation. It contains links to the current distribution andinformation that I think is useful for TeX users on Mac OS X. Othersources for TeX on Mac OS X info:
  • Will Robertson has produced thiswonderful very short beginner page on installing and usingTeX.
  • Gary Gray and Joseph Slater provide a list of informationabout Mac TeX at http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/.On these pages, you'll find information about the very valuable MacOS X TeX mailing list Gary has set up.
  • Stephan Hochhaus maintains a site at http://latex.yauh.de/index_en.html.
A list of questions I have been asked in relation to my distribution is here. You won't believe it, but this wholeinstallation lack of a train wreck actually attracts fan mail. Anedited selection of that fan mail can be found here

Using TeX on Mac OS X

TeX is a typesetting language. Instead of visually formattingyour text, you type your text combined with commands in a plain textfile. That file is your TeX source. You then use TeX to produce thefinal layout. Contrary to a normal word processor, the source and theoutput are basically separated in two different files.

TeX itself consists of a set of programs and a huge collectionof support files containing macros for all kind of layouts(presentations, books, articles, special graphical tricks, etc). Thesemacros make life easy for you. Instead of doing everything yourself inbasic TeX commands, the macros provide an easy-to-use set of commands.For instance, the widest used macro collection is called LaTeX and youcould type something like:

Macros? Commands? Typesetting? Cant'tunderstand a word of the technical gibberish so far? DON'T PANIC! I think this page is not(yet) for you. Please go here first andthen return and start again at 'Using TeX on Mac OS X'.

After running the TeX program on that source you will getsomething like this:

The above may seem complicated. But generally you have seenalmost everything to make beautifully formatted documents. The rest isup to you: working in TeX frees you from thinking about visual layoutalmost completely. You can do what you should do: think about content.It is like having your own personal professional typesetter who worriesabout layout and does a very good job at it.

So, to use TeX you need basically 3 things:

  • An editor to edit plain text (enter your text and your TeXcommands)
  • The TeX program for your platform
  • A way to view the result

TeX is able to produce PDF (Portable Document Format, a type offile that can be viewed and printed on most computer systems) directlyfrom TeX sources. This is called pdfTeX.

TeX originally was only capable of producing the deviceindependent DVI file format from the ASCII TeX source. To view or printDVI, the device independent data needs to be translated to a device.For instance an X11 or Windows user interface, or a PostScript orLaserjet printer. Sometimes, the users have to produce a printer formatfirst (like PostScript), which then again is rendered on the screen bya PostScript viewer (like GhostView).

Mac OS X has a Unix core and it is therefore possible to use aUnix TeX distribution on Mac OS X. The source for TeX is TeXLive, the central TeX development system for Unix and otherplatforms (like Windows), which is published on CD once in a while. TeXLive is huge, programs (for a few platforms) and the foundation(macro's, fonts, etc.) together add up to 1 full DVD. The chiefcoordinator (there are quite a few maintainers of the various parts) ofTeX Live is Sebastian Rahtz. A second very popular TeX (for Unix only)is teTeX, which has been created and is maintained by ThomasEsser. A big advantage of teTeX is that it comes with a well chosen setof support files: teTeX-texmf.

Apart from TeX (and GhostScript), the engine, you need a way tocreate the TeX source and view the output. If you are into basics andlack of comfort, you can use the existing TextEdit.app to edit yourfiles, use the command line to run pdfTeX, and view the result withPreview.app or Acrobat. If you are less masochistically inclined, thereare several frontends available that handle the edit-typeset-viewphases for you. Some of them rely on the availability of a distributionlike mine to do the work behind the scenes, other may be richer andpack their own TeX distribution. Here are a few frontends:

  • TeXShop,the oldest Mac OS X TeX frontend by Richard Koch (which won an AppleDesign Award in 2002).
  • iTeXMac byJérôme Laurens. Newer and by many considered to be morepowerful but also more complex.
  • ScientificAssistant is a Document Management and Scientific WordprocessingSystem for MacOS X. The application offers natural editing ofmathematics, professional typesetting (LaTeX) and database storage.
  • Mac-Emacs,this one is for Emacs-geeks, I guess.
and tools that may be used when a TeX is installed:
  • EquationService, a program that provides a way to use TeX to create yourequations in other applications.
  • EquationEditor, a program that provides a way to use TeX to create yourequations in other applications.
  • BibDesk,a BIBTeX manager.
  • iStorm,iStorm is a peer-to-peer collaboration program with shared colorchalkboard and Baby TeX, Baby Math. It allows a group of people composea rich text document with most Quicktime compatible media as well asTeX equations and Math calculations both of which allow fancy inlinesubstitution with source code attached in a clickable symbol.

Tex For Mac Os X Download For Mac

Hello.
I recently acquired a MacBook, and I also just installed the MacTeX 2010 distribution. How convenient to have been updated just recently, hehe.
Well, the thing is, I've used MikTeX before on my desktop machine. With MikTeX's package manager, I could check all (I think) of CTAN packages, whether with the TeX Live Utility I can only check the TeX Live packages, that is: /systems/texlive/tlnet/.
Is there a compatibility problem or reason why I can't use other packages by default? Is there a way to install these other packages using this tool, or is it all through command-line? In any case, how can I install non-TeX Live packages?

Texlive Package

Thanks in advance for your support.I just installed TeX Live 2008 and the Tex Live Utility on my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.5.6).
I use TeX Shop and have compiled tex files without any problems, but I need some packages that I apparently weren't installed (e.g., simplemargins, and winfonts) so I went to my TeX Live Utility. As soon as I open it I get a 'Listing Failed' message where I would expect my list of packages (I get the same thing on the manage updates tab). In the list of commands that is at the bottom it says:
And that's it .. can't view packages, can't add, update .. nothin'.

Anyone know how I can fix this?Download

Is there a work around that I can do in the meantime to manually install packages? I have the packages downloaded but I can't use them unless they are in the same folder as the current file that I'm working on .. that's a pain.
