As stated earlier, with LaTeX you can edit a file and then typeset it to generate a specified output which can be PDF. LaTex is a typesetting system and it uses source code to generate a document. It is important to note that LaTeX provides the user with more writing flexibility due to the fact that it harnesses the power of TeX which handles its layout responsibilities while LaTeX handles the content side for document processing. A text distribution such as MikTeX or TeX Live is still used to produce an output file such as DVI or PDF which are suitable for digital reproduction. Note: You may want to use a PDF reader that watches your PDF files, like Skim (can be installed by brew install -cask skim and Sync feature can be enabled in Preferences -> Sync).Lamport TeX also fondly known as LaTeX, is a document preparation system that allows the writer to make use of plain text and markups to highlight or make stylized changes to the entire document. Now you should pick a LaTeX editor, here are some to choose from: Note: You may find CLI tool tlmgr cumbersome to use, in that case install GUI for tlmgr - TeX Live Utility - brew install -cask tex-live-utility. You may use tlmgr to install tools/packages that you need.

Since MacTex installs a LaTex editor ( TexMaker) already, installing another LaTeX editor is unnecessary. You can read more about MacTex in What is installed (pdf). MacTexĭownload MacTex, or use brew install -cask mactex. So, after installing BasicTeX you will be faced with the tasks of installing additional programs and installing missing packages. The trade-off that comes with using BasicTeX is that you will have to download and install additional packages and programs as the need arises- and BasicTeX is so basic that the need will arise.
BasicTeX does not include these GUI programs. MacTeX includes additional programs such as an editor and a BibTeX reference manager that help users to work with TeX outside of the command line. Install BasicTeX only (100MB) + your personal LaTeX editor.Install MacTeX with builtin editor (TexLive) - (3.2GB).When installing LaTex, two following options are given to users: It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. LaTeX, which is pronounced «Lah-tech» or «Lay-tech», is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting.
