[tlu] Updating MacTex

[Richard Koch]

TeX Live only supports updating the latest version of TeX. You can install MacTeX-2018, but you can only update it manually yourself.

An alternative is to install the latest MacTeX using the Unix install script. This will give you the x86_64-darwinlegacy binaries, which will run on your machine, and the latest packages, and then TeX Live Utility can update the distribution. For an explanation, go to

https://tug.org/mactex

and read the linked page on using a Unix install script.

PS: After writing this, I see it is a question to the TeX Live Utility mailing list. Adam Maxwell may give a more definitive answer!

Hi,

I’ve got a problem with mit TeX-Distribution and I hope that you can help me. After updating my Mac my Tex does not run properly. When I want to set the text I get errors in several packages. I updated to OSX El Capitan (10.11.6) so I had to reinstall my TeX. I only can use MacTex 2018. The installation was ok. I use TexLiveUtility 1.52. I tried to re-install those packages but I get an error that the version could not be determined. I tried other repositories but the same error. I think I need an repository which supports my ‚old‘ TeX distribution? Could you please help me?

Thanks and greets from Germany
Matthias
