> Last time I tried to setup LaTex on my mac I just gave up because it was too much work, this seems to be agreed upon a lot of other users too so I don’t feel alone on this, am I? It seems like I am not part of those many users. On mac yoi can install the full texlive distribution with the default GUI using home brew easily. brew install --cask mactex Or if you just want the basic and without any applications you can install basictex brew install --cask basictex Then you may use tlmgr to install tools/packages that you need. Or you can do it using tex live utility (GUI) which can be installed easily brew install --cask tex-live-utility
