It again is required when managing packages. Note that whether you use cask for installation or not, the sudo password will be required. Personally, I prefer the Terminal option for the additional control and piece of mind (and because I love the Terminal), and you can also use cask to install a whole bunch of other apps for OS X, like Chrome, if you like.
Installation is simple, you can either: Google BasicTeX to download and install it like you would other software on OS X or do it via the Terminal using brew cask ( GitHub). With all this, you’ll quickly scale the learning curve and become proficient in working with LaTeX. I’d recommend that after reading this you then find a writing guide to skim through (if you need to), and acquaint yourself with some of the online TeX communities and the amazing support they offer. Rather, this will regard the experience of working with LaTeX more comfortably: with simplified clutter-free and change-aware/automatic compilation. Note that this isn’t a guide on how to write LaTeX documents, so that need won’t be addressed. All work will be done in the Terminal as opposed to with a GUI. Installation of additional packages will be covered as that’s very necessary. We’ll be looking at installing and getting on the road with BasicTeX a slimmed down version of the 2+GB MacTeX. I recently used it to create a research proposal, so I’ll share some things which made my work with LaTeX less frustrating and more efficient. Once you get going, though, things will come along smoothly and you’ll love the results. However, it’s also bad as it’s less intuitive and more “clunky” than most modern technologies. That’s good because its output is second to none. Getting Started and Productive with LaTeX (BasicTeX) on OS X (Terminal)
