Latex For Mac Os



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:

@kulimer: The link you posted refers to beamer installation. However, beamer comes with a number of themes (what things look like; see, for example, the beamer theme matrix), and these themes can be developed by independent individuals.You should find your MacTeX 2011 folder (perhaps in Applications?). Inside is the so-called TDS (TeX Directory Structure). ‎Create gorgeous documents in minutes with the Pages for Mac word processor. Start with an Apple-designed template to instantly create gorgeous reports, digital books, resumes, posters and more. Or use a blank document and create your own design. Easily add images, movies, audio, charts and shapes.

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.

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.

Mac

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

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:

You can remove MiKTeX completely from your system. To do so, open a Terminal window and run these commands:

  2. if MiKTeX has been installed system-wide, run sudo miktexsetup --shared=yes cleanup to remove MiKTeX files which have been created outside your home directory
  3. run sudo rm -fr /Applications/MiKTeX Console.app to remove the application files
