I tried to "install LaTeX" on Mac. I installed latex2html with Brew, and passed it an example .tex. I got `Fatal (syswait): exec " ./images.tex" failed: Permission denied`
I tried to install `texlive` (at your recommendation) also through brew, and got the error `Could not symlink bin/afm2tfm.Target /usr/local/bin/afm2tfm already exists.`
Overleaf just works.
- hollandheese 2y agoWhy are you using homebrew for this? Download MacTex: https://tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html https://tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html and double-click the .pkg file and follow the installer steps.
- tombert 2y agoI think you should use what you like and if you like Overleaf then by all means use it. That being said, I think the package you want is macTex, installable via `brew install --cask mactex`. As stated in the previous post, it's also pretty easy to get it working with Nix, even on macOS (which is my primary OS until T2 Linux becomes actually usable).
