TeX Live Utility is a Mac OS X graphical interface for TeX Live Manager. It aims to provide a native Mac OS X interface for the most commonly used functions of the TeX Live Manager command-line tool. TeX Live 2008 and later come with the TeX Live Manager for updating, installing, and otherwise managing a TeX installation. Operating Systems Mac OS X 10.5 PPC, Macintosh, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6 Intel, Mac OS X 10.7, Mac OS X 10.5 Intel. TeX previewer with supplemental TeXLive/teTeX distribution.

MacTEX for Mac OS X is an extension of TEXLive which adds a native Mac OS X installer and other Mac applications to TEX Live hence should be generally compatible. The TeX distribution that it comes with is TeX Live 2008, which is newer than the TeX distribution available though i-Installer (a.k.a ii2). MacTeX also comes with the TeX Live Utility, a graphical interface for the TeX Live package manager for installing, updating, or otherwise managing (La)TeX packages. TeX Live is intended to be a straightforward way to get up and running with the TeX document production system. It provides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors of Unix, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and also Windows.

MacTeX is a free redistribution of TeX Live, a typesetting environment based on TeX. While TeX Live is designed to be cross-platform (running on Unix, macOS, and Windows), MacTeX includes Mac-specific utilities and front-ends (such as TeXShop and BibDesk).^[1] It is also pre-configured to work out-of-the-box with macOS, as it provides sensible defaults for configuration options that, in TeX Live, are left up to the user to allow for its cross-platform compatibility.

Details[edit]

MacTeX is packaged and distributed by the MacTeX TeXnical working group, a subgroup of TeX Users Group (TUG). TeX Live is distributed by the TUG, making MacTeX less a fork of TeX Live than a customised repackaging.

The full MacTeX install package contains three subpackages:^[1]

• GUI-Applications
  • Excalibur (a LaTeX spell checker)
  • LaTeXiT (a LaTeX equation editor)
  • TeX Live Utility (a utility to update, install or remove parts of TeX Live)
  • TeXShop (A Mac-based TeX editor)
• Ghostscript (an open source version of PostScript)

As of 2019, the content of the full MacTeX installation exceeds 4 GB in size. However, a substantially smaller version of MacTeX, BasicTeX, which does not contain Ghostscript or the aforementioned GUI programs, can be used in its stead along with a TeX editor as well.^[2][3]

Introduction

For getting ConTeXt MkIV onto a Mac there are basically two routes to take. MacTeX (TeXLive distribution made especially for Mac OSX) and the ConTeXt Suite (Standalone), recommended for all those that want the most current versions or latest developments in ConTeXt.

Naturally, there are other ways, but they are more for experienced Mac users and those comfortable with using the command line.

• The simplest method is to use MacTeX, but as this is essentially TeXLive you will not have the most recent binaries (generally frozen for a year).
• The advantage is that you get TeX et al, fonts and some nice utilities, including the editor TeXShop (highly recommended) which can run ConTeXt and TeX-Variants from within the editor without any knowledge of the command line.
• ConTeXt Suite (Standalone) is recommended for those that wish to have the latest stable version, latest developmental version, or wish to run several versions of ConTeXt side by side. The downside to the side by side approach is that you need some knowledge of how to use the command line and how to set-up the paths in a Unix environment.

MacTeX

The easiest way to install ConTeXt on Mac OSX is to use the the MacTeX distribution. MacTeX is a TeXLive distribution modified especially for use on Mac OSX. It will install every thing you need to run ConTeXt, TeX, LaTeX, Xe(La)TeX, along with the editors TeXShop and TeXWorks, the TeX Live Utility for managing updates, fonts and many other goodies.

As MacTeX is a TeXLive distribution all binaries are generally frozen for a year. If you wish to have a more current version or the latest beta version of ConTeXt you should consider, also installing the 'ConTeXt Suite' often called 'Standalone ConTeXt'.

After installing MacTeX all you need to do is set up TeXShop to use ConTeXt, see the TeXShop page.

Installing MacTeX

• Download and follow the instructions from the MacTeX site (Installer larger than 2GB, instructions for slower internet connections on the site of MacTeX)

• You can also buy a TeXLive DVD (if you are a member of a TeX user group you often get it for free).

Standalone ConTeXt

The new LMTX distribution is also able to run MkIV files. See Installation or Installing ConTeXt LMTX on MacOS for details.

Configuring ConTeXt-Aware Editors on the Mac

Typically, most editors work out of the box with MacTeX, but if you are using a version earlier than those shipped with MacTeX 2011 (TeXShop 2.42), or if you would like to use the Standalone distribution (ConTeXt Suite), you need to configure engines for ConTeXt manually.

Skim (PDF viewer)

Texlive Local Texmf

Unless you are using TeXshop or TeXworks with built-in viewers, the recommended PDF viewer with SyncTeX support and auto-refresh on Mac OS X is Skim.
