MiKTeX for Mac is distributed as a disk image (
.dmg
) file. If you double click the disk image file, you will see a Finder window:To install MiKTeX, simply drag the MiKTeX icon onto the
Applications
shortcut icon. This will install the MiKTeX Console
application and essential support files (executables, frameworks, configuration files).- MiKTeX for Mac OS X 2.9.7400 freeware download - Mathematical expressions are finally easy to write within text documents - Freeware downloads - best freeware - Best Freeware Download.
- I don't believe Suman need a specific MikTeX feature in his Mac. Surelly he (as me) strarted to use LaTeX with MikTeX and as new Mac user he doesn't know another TeX distributions, so he is asking for what he knows. Now he'll be able to use MacTeX and decide if he likes it o preffer to do a BootCamp as @Pedrag Punosevac suggested.
Finishing the setup
Details: C: Program Files MiKTeX 2.9 tpm packages alg.tpm' When I try to reinstall the software the problem remain with another file. I used the network in basic and full installation, and with the offline installer. As others have remarked, the nearest equivalent to MikTeX on Mac OS X is MacTeX. Alternately, you could install BasicTeX for a smaller and less capable download. The Latexian FAQ addresses this in a minor note, which seems odd given the importance of TeX for a LaTeX IDE. Download MiKTeX - A simple to use application that allows you to write mathematical, technical or any scientific material, also providing a TEX document editor.
Before you can use MiKTeX, you have to finish the setup. Click the
MiKTeX Console
icon in Launchpad to start MiKTeX Console:Now is the time to make a decision:
Do you want to set up a private (for you only) TeX installation, or do you want to set up a shared (system-wide) TeX installation?
You probably want to choose the first option.
The second option makes sense if you are the administrator of a multi-user system. If this is the case and if you expect that some of your users would like to work with MiKTeX, then you should install MiKTeX system-wide.
Click one of the two buttons if you have made your decision.
Upgrade option
If you have just installed MiKTeX, then you have the option to upgrade your installation to a standard TeX system. Just click the
Upgrade
button. Please be aware that this starts a ~200MB download.Alternatively, you can turn on the auto-install feature and let MiKTeX install missing packages on-the-fly. This will help you to keep your TeX installation as minimal as possible (“Just enough TeX”).

Fixing PATH
issues
Executables like
luatex
have been installed in ~/bin
. This folder is usually not in the search path for executables, i.e., two additional steps might be necessary:- Add the
~/bin
directory to the environment variablePATH
(see here, for details). - If you use TeXshop, you have to set some preferences (see here, for details).
Removing MiKTeX
You can remove MiKTeX completely from your system. To do so, open a Terminal window and run these commands:
Miktex
- run
miktexsetup cleanup
to remove MiKTeX files which have been created in your home directory - if MiKTeX has been installed system-wide, run
sudo miktexsetup --shared=yes cleanup
to remove MiKTeX files which have been created outside your home directory - run
sudo rm -fr /Applications/MiKTeX Console.app
to remove the application files
