Description
TeX Live is a popular TeX/LaTeX distribution. TeX is a typesetting system created by Donald Knuth and released in 1978. LaTeX is a collection of additional TeX macros for formatting documents.
For Mac OS X, there is MacTeX which comprises the full TeX Live distribution as well as some additional tools for using TeX on the Mac, most notably the editor TeXShop and the bibliography manager BibDesk. TeX Live can also be compiled and installed through MacPorts.
