I use the MacTex Basic version via Homebrew and a script to save the installed packages before update from which I load after update.
Saves a few Gigs, and since I have moved the practice Desktop home on retirement, gotten me a new Mini, keep the old Trashcan running headless, and have two MacBooks in the house, all Time Machining to a Time Capsule space does matter (somewhat). I had a few missing packages (2 or 3), when going to 2.4.0 RC3/4 but exporting to LuaLaTeX and running those finds the missing packages quickly. As this happens very rarely I can live with it easily. el On 2024-06-21 20:21, Christopher Menzel wrote: > I’ve found over the years that it pays to install the complete TeX > package on any platform I’m working on.
