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:
TeXstudio is one of the candidates for the SourceForge project of the month. 2015-06-29: TeXstudio has been chosen as one of the Featured Projects of the week on sourceforge.net: 2015-03-24: The new release TeXstudio 2.9.4 is available. This is a bug fix release mainly for OSX and Linux. To download the smaller BasicTeX, click Smaller Download. For suggestions on keeping TeX up to date, go to Update Schedule. To Obtain Older Versions of MacTeX If You Are Running Mac OS 10.3 through 10.9, click here.
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.
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:
- Add the
~/bindirectory to the environment variablePATH(see here, for details). - If you use TeXshop, you have to set some preferences (see here, for details).
