Installing the Tools

macOS

I recommend using Homebrew.

1. Install a full TeXLive distribution with brew install --cask mactex. Although mactex installs certain GUI components, such as the TeXShop editor, I recommend using a solid all-around text and code editor instead, which will match TeXShop’s features, and far exceed them as it is not restricted to editing LaTeX documents. If you want to avoid installing the GUI components, use brew install —cask mactex-nogui instead.
2. chktex comes preinstalled with the TeXLive distribution.
3. Install ltex with brew install ltex-ls.
4. Install textidote with brew install textidote.
5. latexindent comes preinstalled with the TeXLive distribution but because latexindent is updated often and the version in TeXLive may be several releases behind, use brew install latexindent.
