= 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.
