TeX is a typesetting computer language designed to help you deal with all sorts of technical documentation. MacTeX is a software package that enables you to install and take advantage of the language’s capabilities on your Mac computer.

The MacTeX software package comes with an installer designed to streamline the deployment process of the TeX reference edition: all you have to do is follow the on screen instructions. Once the process is over, your operating system will contain the tools needed to run TeX.

However, you might also choose to download and install the MacTeXtras package, which provides an extensive documentation, showcase items, spell checkers, and more front ends.

The MacTeX installer will deploy on your Mac the TeX Live edition which enables you to use most TeX packages: LaTeX, pdfTeX, ConTeX, LuaTeX, and so on. Noteworthy is that MacTeX comes with more than one graphical user interface utilities, so you do not have to install front ends separately.

Since everything is preconfigured, you will be able to use the MacTeX capabilities right out of the box, without worrying about making additional settings. Nonetheless, the package does not include uninstallation capabilities: to learn more about this process, read the instructions provided by the developers online.

MacTeX proposes an user friendly solution for installing the TeX language on your Mac without too much hustle. Since the package includes multiple GUI utilities that are preconfigured, you will be able to employ the typesetting system right out of the box.

Moreover, you have the option to extend its capabilities by quickly installing the additional front end utilities and spell checkers that are included in the MacTeXtras package.

What's new in MacTeX 2023:

  • Cross-engine extensions:
  • In engines except for original TeX and e-TeX:
  • special followed by a new keyword “shipout” delays expansion of the argument tokens until shipout time, as with a non-immediatewrite.
