Professional typesetting TeX Live 2023 for Mac&Win&Linux

TeX Live It is the TeX system maintained and released by the TUG (TeX User Group), which can be said to be the "official" TeX system. We recommend TeX users at any stage to use TeX Live as much as possible to maintain consistency across operating system platforms and users.

TeX Live's name on macOS/OS X is MacTeX, and its official website is https://tug.org/mactex 。 You can download the installer of MacTeX here, and then install MacTeX.

LaTeX is an extension of TeX, also known as macro set, which simply means that TeX's commands are too primitive. In order to facilitate the author's writing, Leslie Lamport has added many new functions to the TeX language, which together with TeX are called LaTeX. Of course, LaTeX is also a language based on TeX; LaTeX It is a typesetting system based on \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\. This is particularly true for generating complex tables and mathematical formulas. Therefore, it is very suitable for generating scientific and mathematical documents with high printing quality. This system is also suitable for generating all other kinds of documents, from simple letters to complete books.

TeX Live is a TeX distribution, which is a collection of programs. Its main function is to parse and typeset the TeX code you wrote and output it to PS or pdf. "TeX distribution vs. TeX language" can be roughly understood as "C language compiler (such as GCC or Clang) vs. C language";

TeX Live is intended to be a straightforward way to get up and running with the  TeX document production system . It provides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors of Unix, including GNU/Linux and  macOS , and also Windows. It includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts that are free software, including support for many languages around the world. Many Unix/GNU/Linux  operating systems provide TeX Live  via their own distributions and package managers.

About TeX Live, MacTeX, and BasicTeX

TeX Live is the standard distribution of TeX, LaTeX, and related programs produced by TeX Users Groups across the world. The distribution runs on the Macintosh, Windows, Linux, and Unix machines, using the same packages and fonts on all of these platforms. The binary programs are compiled separately for each platform, but from the same source code. The icon at the top right of our web pages is a link which takes you to the home page of the English language TeX Users Group (TUG).

MacTeX is a package which installs TeX Live on the Macintosh. The package is notarized by Apple and uses Apple’s standard install technology. It contains native code for both Intel and Arm processors. When installation is complete, the software is fully configured and ready to use. The icon at the top left of our web pages is a link which takes you to this MacTeX home page.

The MacTeX working group inside TUG provides two install packages. One, BasicTeX, is relatively small, about 90 MB, but fully capable of typesetting standard TeX and LaTeX documents. The other, MacTeX, is much larger and includes essentially all software available for typesetting with TeX-like systems, including TeX, LaTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX, ConTeXt, etc. This complete system supports almost every written language in use today, including languages of Western Europe, Russian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and a multitude of more obscure scripts.

BasicTeX and MacTeX can coexist on the same machine, so users experimenting with TeX may reasonably install BasicTeX to try it out. The full MacTeX is recommended if you are certain that you will use TeX, even if you are a beginner, because any example in a book will automatically work and no time will be wasted adding extra missing components to the distribution.
