• Weather never takes a day off. With ARBORCOAT ® Exterior Stain, you get year-round protection plus a timeless palette of driftwood grays, warm russets and woodland greens. Choose from several opacities—translucent, semi-transparent, semi-solid and solid. Each opacity offers a level of color that reveals more or less of the wood.
• TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and related typesetting systems. It only takes a minute to sign up. Brew cask install basictex just downloads the.pkg installer, which you then need to open so it can install itself.

Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. “To install, drag this icon” no more. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. $ brew install-cask firefox. Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula.

This post will show you how to install LaTeX easily on a Mac with the package manager Homebrew.

You can directly install MacTex or BasicTex from https://tug.org/mactex/ and follow the instructions from 3 to 4. But I prefer brew for its ease.

1. First you should install Homebrew;
/usr/bin/ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)'

You may look at brew.sh for newer or additional installation methods. After you have installed brew you can easily search for packages with

brew search wget

or install found packages by

brew install wget

You may use brew for installing various packages, command line tools, applications etc.

2. There is a small twist while installing MacTex or BasicTex packages. Because they are supplied at the Homebrew Cask repository. Cask is a community contributed repository for large binaries and applications. So you should add cask command before installing MacTex or BasicTex.

brew cask install basictex
to install basictex or
brew cask install mactex
for mactex.

MaxTex is more than a GB and BasicTex is around 90MBs. There are many packages that you will never use in MacTex thus I prefer the BasicTex.

3. Now you will need a simple text editor to write LaTeX. Then simply use the command line to convert your raw latex code to pdf. You may also use a latex editor like TexMaker if you prefer a GUI. MacTex readily comes with some tex editors.

4. As BasicTex is very lightweight it is missing some essential packages. If you get errors like “multirow.sty not found” while compiling tex then you should install the missing modules. The package tlmgr is used to install the missing modules.

For example;

sudo tlmgr install multirow

tlmgr comes with BasicTex.

Brew Latexindent

I have used the following resources to summarize the installation process and install latex myself on El Capitan.

LaTeX, which is pronounced «Lah-tech» or «Lay-tech», is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.

Installation

When installing LaTex, two following options are given to users:

1. Install MacTeX with builtin editor (TexLive) - (3.2GB)
2. Install BasicTeX only (100MB) + your personal LaTeX editor

MacTeX vs BasicTeX

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. BasicTeX does not include these GUI programs. 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. So, after installing BasicTeX you will be faced with the tasks of installing additional programs and installing missing packages.

MacTex

Download MacTex, or use brew install --cask mactex.You can read more about MacTex in What is installed (pdf).

Since MacTex installs a LaTex editor (TexMaker) already, installing another LaTeX editor is unnecessary.

BasicTeX

Download BasicTeX, or use brew install --cask basictex. You can read more about BasicTex in BasicTeX (pdf).

You may use tlmgr to install tools/packages that you need.

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.

Brew Latexdraw

Now you should pick a LaTeX editor, here are some to choose from:

Brew Latex

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).
