LaTeX setup for mac
If you are installing LaTeX on a mac, and want to use department-specific styles and fonts, follow these steps:
Install the latest TeXLive available through the [https://www.tug.org/mactex/|MacTeX distribution].
Copy /opt/texmf-local from one of the department computers to the same location on the mac.
Run kpsewhich texmf.cnf to see where your tex texmf.cnf file is, and edit it to look something like:
TEXMFVAR = /usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-var TEXMFSYSVAR = $TEXMFVAR TEXMFLOCAL = /opt/texmf-local TEXMFCONFIG = $TEXMFSYSCONFIG openout_any = r openin_any = a main_memory = 5000000
Change the first line (depends on where TeXLive is installed). Note that you have to be SU to save changes to the file.
- Run, as SU:
mktexlsr updmap-sys
Done.
