I am trying to install the "Pygments" package to Python via terminal on my Mac so that I can utilize the "minted" package in Latex. I have downloaded the package via the terminal by using the following code: curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py > get-pip.py followed by: sudo python get-pip.py and then sudo pip install pygments It took a couple tries of repeating the same commands but it finally successfully installed. I don't know what to do now though. I'm still getting the same error from LaTex: Package minted Error: You must have `pigmentize' installed to use this package. Does anyone have any experience with this issue and could possibly provide some assistance?

I am using TexShop on Mac OS. Everything works fine, the pdf is generated and I can do continuous scrolling. However, when I view the pdf in (a) full screen mode and (b) zoom a page of this pdf, I get stuck with the same page and there is no continuous scrolling possible.

I can't execute arara (a command that is part of the TeXLive distribution) from the Terminal using bash shell. I can execute tex which resides in the same directory.

How can I rectify this?

My requirements are a markdown editor for iOS which supports inline Latex syntax (and preview). Limited Latex support is fine, full support is better, extensible is best. I’m looking for something better than Pages which supports a very small subset of Latex and has limited markdown support. What free or paid options exist?

I am writing an equation with an absolute value:

d(c,x)=|c_1-x_1|+|c_2-x_2|

In Keynote, it looks good: ![Screenshot of the Edit Equation window inside of Keynote with the equation rendered properly with the absolute notation ][1] But when I export to PDF, the equation becomes ![Screenshot of the same equation in a PDF but the absolute notation is not rendered ][2] (absolute notation is not rendered). I am using Keynote version 13.2 (7038.0.87). Does anyone have the same issue?

I had MacOS 12 with basic tex installed (from here https://tug.org/mactex/ ). I basically only need to convert tex files (using several basic packages) to pdf and the texi2pdf command-line tool was perfect for that (no need to download 5GiB of files I'm never going to use). However after upgrade to MacOS 13 the texi2pdf binary disappeared and reinstalling basic tex does not re-create it (using find over the entire drive returns no results for texi2pdf). Has anyone had such an issue?

Is there a Safari extension for rendering LaTeX in webpages? That is, take expressions like $...$ and replace them in the page with the rendered LaTeX. I couldn’t find anything on Google.

For example LaTex, or any other way to show mathematical symbols in TextEdit ? It's possible to use math symbols in LibreOffice and Microsoft Word, maybe the same is possible in TextEdit ?

I am looking for a pdf reader for my iPad Pro, which automatically refreshes the pdf when another app makes changes to the pdf. I using Vim in a-Shell to edit my LaTeX document and display the pdf next to it. When I use pdflatex to compile the LaTeX-file, I want the pdf reader to automatically show the then new generated pdf. The only apps I found so far for this are the Readdle-Apps “Documents” and “PDF Expert”, but both require monthly payments after a short trail period and I cannot afford to pay monthly for something I am using regularly but not daily. I am more than happy to make a one-time-payment for it. Does anybody know such a pdf reader?

I was trying to make a presentation in Keynote since it had a direct LaTeX equation writer embedded. However, I soon realised that some of the commands (and therefore packages) were not supported. I've searched online and it seemed that the only possibility would be to add equations as a PDF. But I was wondering if there is a way to install new packages directly in the blahTeX used in Keynote or, even better, make Keynote use the MacTeX I've installed. Thanks!

MacTex is apparently 4+GB to install. It says on the Lyx downloads that MacTex is a necessary dependency. https://www.lyx.org/Download Do we really need MacTex?

I'm making a Keynote presentation with a lot of equations. To add an equation, I can press option-CMD-E, and then I can type the LaTeX code for the equation. However, to complete editing the equation and insert it into the document, I have to move the mouse pointer to the "Insert" button and click it. My question is whether there is a way to do this using only the keyboard, so that I can enter equations into the text without using the trackpad at all. Here's what I've tried: * press enter (this just puts a newline in the LaTeX code) * all possible combinations of enter plus one or modifier keys (shift, ctrl, option, CMD) * attempting to select the "Insert" button using the tab key (but it doesn't do anything) Is there something else I could try? The same issue affects Pages as well.

I've been using org-mode in Emacs for a while now; specifically, I've installed emacs-mac with brew install --cask emacs-mac and then installed Doom Emacs. A problem I've consistently had with my setup, however, is that when running org-latex-export-to-pdf or running latex code is an org-mode source code block, I always get the same error: zsh:1: command not found: latexmk. I've been trying to fix this forever; I installed and set up the exec-path-from-shell package, I gave Emacs full disk access, I gave Ruby full disk access (though emacs-mac doesn't seem to be run from a Ruby script anyway), and I've tried adding /Library/TeX/texbin to my exec-path and $PATH variable in emacs through my config multiple times. Nothing's been working, and I can't figure out why. Is there anyone that could help me with this? UPDATE: I've simply hardcoded org-latex-pdf-process with the full path to pdflatex, which works fine. I'm still not sure why Emacs can't find it when all the paths are set, but whatever, it's working now I guess.

I am using my iPad (with pencil) and my MacBook to write a document. I type using my Mac and draw some drawings in between texts. I want to add some Latex formulas, however, but I'm not sure how to do this. Is it possible to write Latex in notes or more generally, is there any software that lets me type (in macOS), draw (on iPad), and use Latex formulas **simultaneously**?

I'm trying to get Anki to work with Latex. Currently, when I open a flashcard with latex on it I get: `Generated file: /var/folders/41/v5plvhx12wg0qlrj9h_l0g680000gn/T/anki_temp/tmp.tex Have you installed latex and dvipng?` However, I have already installed BasicTex + dvipng. In fact, when I run which latex and which dvipng on terminal I get: /Library/TeX/texbin/latex and /Library/TeX/texbin/dvipng. So I need some help. Would anyone know how to make Anki work with Latex? Thanks for your help!

Originally I was going to ask a question about how to get LaTeX working in Anki , but as I was writing the question, I was trying to solve the problem myself. I thought others may benefit from my findings, so I decided to post them here. If you notice that any of my steps are wrong, please let me know. And I was still unable to get it to work, so if you scroll down to the end, you can see where I'm stuck and still need help. The current issue is: **How can I install libgd?** ---------- I'm trying to make Anki work with LaTeX . The only information I could find about how to do this is from this page : > * [...] to use LaTeX, you have to install it separately - it is not bundled with Anki > * [...] on OSX use MacTex > * Dvipng must also be installed. > * On OSX, if you use MacPorts or similar to install LaTeX, make sure latex and dvipng are linked in /usr/bin. The standard installation of MacTex takes up 3GB, far more than I believe is necessary, since I am not going to use its GUI application. I just need the LaTeX library, if I understand it correctly, which should be way less than 3GB. Therefore, I'm installing the BasicTeX version instead, which only takes up about 100MB. I'm not sure if I already have Dvipng installed or not, so I'm restarting Anki to see if it works or not. I got the following error: > Error executing dvipng. [...] Output written on tmp.dvi [...] So I probably need to install dvipng... The Install readme has the following information: > Installing dvipng should be simple: merely ./configure', make', and `make install'. > > Prerequisites: > > * The GD Graphics Draw library, libgd > * The path-searching library kpathsea > * libpng and libz Again, I'm not sure which, if any, of these prerequisites I already have installed, so I'm just going ahead with the installation in hopes of error messages guiding me to the right path. After executing ./config, it gives the error: > configure: error: cannot find/use libpng ... which I think is weird since the readme states: > To be able to compress and write PNG files to disk, dvipng (or really libgd) uses libpng which in turn uses libz. These should be available on any modern system, if not, download them and install them. I went to the libpng website , and tried finding a "current binary" that works with my OS (10.6/i386), but it seems that none of the latest 3 versions have a binary that is available to download. So I went to the "old binaries" section, which took me to this website , which has libpng v1.4.5. I installed the "Individual Installer package" for libpng. Now that it's installed, I tried installing Dvipng again, and it now gives the following error: > cannot find/use libgd > This drawing library can be downloaded at http://www.boutell.com/gd When I go to that website , I see it says that the page moved and that it is currently down. There is only a link to the source files and no binary distribution. I'm not sure where I should go from here... should I download the source and compile it somehow? Once it's complied what do I do with it? Do I run some file it generates? Would I move files it generates to specific folders? How would Dvipng know how to access it? I'm unfamiliar with how to do something like this, so any help would be appreciated. ---------- Here's a summary (so far) of the dependency hierarchy which must be installed in order to get LaTeX to work with Anki: - MacTeX : Installed (got the BasicTeX version to save a lot of disk space). - Dvipng : Not installed (can't install without libgd). - libpng : Installed (got the Individual Installer package). - libgd: Not installed (not sure how to install this). - ??? ---- Other questions: - Is there a better, reliable method to know if any of these dependencies are installed rather than running an installer which depends on them and hoping for a meaningful error message?

I'm using the built-in equation tool in Keynote. Is there a way to change the font used by default in Keynote? Also, I see that when I try to use text in the equation via \text{} the font is in bold mode. How can I change that? Note that a relevant Keynote question has been asked here . As an example for the font change see this picture As an example for the bold text see the picture which was generated by \Gamma \text{ is fixed} Note that this question is not a duplicate of this one . All of the options mentioned in the linked question are such that simply add a characteristic to the font (italics, bold, roman etc.) but they do not change the font.

I use a macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and I try to "Compile and View" a text with TexStudio 3.1.1 but the program crashes and quits when the PDF Viewer is selected to be embedded in the app. I must say that the functionality of "Compile" works fine, as well as "Compile and View" in external PDF Viewer. However, I am interested in having the preview inside the app since it makes the workflow smoother. I tried everything I could and followed the proposed solution of installing older versions of TexStudio (2.12.22). Unfortunately, none of them solved my concern. Thanks,

When I run

!pdflatex %

in Macvim, the latex file compiles and I am not exited from Macvim. In iterm2, the compilation occurs and them I am taken out of Vim back into the terminal prompt. Any ideas why the behavior is different? I have looked around and to my surprise haven't seen anything about it.

I recently asked a [question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/576754/changing-default-font-for-mathcal-in-pages-equations-mac?noredirect=1#comment1452117_576754) on TEX StackExchange but thought it would be more appropriate to ask it here. I am using Pages version 10.3.5 (7029.5.5). Typing in TeX environments in Farsi is an absolute pain even though the output is fine so I was writing in Pages. My problem is, I want to type this "F" in an equation: But \mathcal{} gives me fancy RSFS characters like this: The default font for mathcal is the Computer Modern one everywhere else. Though I read in jksoegaard's answer in this [question](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/378657/does-pages-support-latex-extensions) that Pages doesn't support installing LaTeX packages, I wanna know if I can manage to get the font I want.
