Settings for TeXShop (and other Mac TeX-Editors)

Wed, 17 May 2023 10:46:49 +0200

The default TeX Settings for MacTeX should work in all editors as we don’t have a special installation any more.

TeXShop – > Preferences

There the “Engine” settings for the paths should be as follows: (pdf)TeX: /Library/TeX/texbin Distiller (ghostscript): /usr/local/bin

texshop-prefs

Note: It’s no longer necessary to change the “Typesetting” preferences from “pdftex” to “TeX + DVI”.

Path settings for other Mac TeX-editors should be set accordingly:

all TeX-related binaries (e.g. latex, pdflatex, etc.) can be found at: /Library/TeX/texbin
all Ghostscript-related binaries (e.g. gs, ps2pdf) can be found at: /usr/local/bin
