- [[http://www.tug.org/mactex/|The MacTeX Distribution]]: this is the new "standard" for LaTeX on MacOS, it is based on the official TUG TeX Live distribution. Just install the [[ftp://tug.org/tex/mactex/MacTeX.dmg|MacTeX.dmg]] (full TeX Live distribution from TUG, unmodified). When using the install package, there is an extra button at bottom left labeled "Customize"; by clicking it, you can choose what to install: install just the TeX Live distribution, and uncheck anything else. You can install the other stuff independently. | - [[http://www.tug.org/mactex/|The MacTeX Distribution]]: this is the new "standard" for LaTeX on MacOS, it is based on the official TUG TeX Live distribution.

Apple ''Preview.app'' doesn't reload the PDF file when it changes, which is king of annoying. A good PDF previewer for latex is [[http://pdfview.sourceforge.net/|PDFView]]. You can use [[http://www2.ing.unipi.it/~d9615/homepage/texniscope.html|TeXniscope]] which works with DVIs as well; but it doesn't seem to play well with intel macs. | Apple ''Preview.app'' doesn't reload the PDF file when it changes, which is kind of annoying.
