 * 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 a suitable 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

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. The last line (specifying memory) is very optional.
