Installing LaTeX on Mac
Contrary to TeXmaker, Overleaf is a cloud-based LaTex editing solution you can access through your web browser. Yet, it is a powerful LaTex editing suite with the scope to add symbols, equations, images, and bibliographies for a comprehensive academic paper publishing experience. TeXnicCenter and TexMaker (and perhaps others) use the spelling engine of OpenOffice and you can download dictionaries for it, if necessary. The dictionary files are archives with an.oxt extension. If you have something like 7-zip (free), you can expand it. If not, just change.oxt to.zip and use the archiver that comes with Windoze.
When installing LaTex, two following options are given to users.
- Install MacTeX with builtin editor(TexLive) - (2GB)
- Install BasicTeX only (100MB) + your personal LaTeX editor

MacTeX vs BasicTeX

MacTeX includes additional programs such as an editor and a BibTeX reference manager that help users to work with TeX outside of the command line. BasicTeX does not include these GUI programs. The trade-off that comes with using BasicTeX is that you will have to download and install additional packages and programs as the need arises- and BasicTeX is so basic that the need will arise. So, after installing BasicTeX you will be faced with the tasks of installing additional programs and installing missing packages.
