Macports' texlive port and MacTeX are both based on the latest TeXlive distribution, MacTeX is very complete () whereas you have much more granularity with all the texlive-* ports of macports (). We recommend using a MacTeX distribution: Installing TeX from source is weird and gross, requires a lot of patches,Īnd only builds 32-bit (and thus can't use Homebrew deps on Snow Leopard.) Latex-mk latex2html latex2rtf pplatex rtf2latex2e Homebrew does not provide any version of LaTeX: $ brew search latex You should now be using $ brew install -cask mactex Just go ahead and do $ brew cask install mactexīrew has once again changed its syntax for this. I think it is a fun, yet unhelpful error message, maybe there is a good reason for it. You can continue to do what it tells you, until you realize that you should look for help online. If you do what it's says, you will get: Error: caskroom/cask-cask was moved. Skip the brew tap caskroom/cask or the following error occures: Error: caskroom/cask was moved. If you would like to install without the GUI, you can $ brew cask install mactex-no-gui Since that basically downloads the MacTeX.pkg from ctan it should not be different from the usual manual installation. It is possible to install MacTeX with homebrew using Homebrew Cask via $ brew tap caskroom/cask
