Once you update TeXShop, it should work fine. New installations: If you've never installed LaTeX before, the first thing you'll want to do after launching TeXShop is to go to the TeXShop menu and check for updates.If that doesn't solve things, try downloading and installing MacTeX again and then have TeXShop update itself (again…reinstalling MacTeX will replace TeXShop).

#Texshop compile install#

For many users, you'll find there's an update to install and that will fix your problem.

Existing installations: If you had previously installed LaTeX and then upgraded to El Capitan and suddenly your TeXShop complains about not being able to compile, the first thing you should do is go to the TeXShop menu and check for updates.

Bush and Keller have both debugged some of these issues. See below for some troubleshooting tips, and if you get stuck you can ask a math professor.

Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) made some changes to where the MacTeX bundle is allowed to write files. Otherwise, chaos may ensue.) Issues with El Capitan (OS X 10.11) (Make sure that 'LaTeX' is selected in the drop down. If not, you can find TeX shop in the TeX folder inside your Applications folder.) Typeset hw-template.tex by clicking the big 'Typeset' button at the top left. (If you're lucky, double-clicking on hw-template.tex will open TeXShop. Download a template file from below and open it with TeXShop. Once you've downloaded it, double click on MacTeX.pkg to install MacTeX and a bunch of associated utilities. Don't try to save time with the 'Smaller Download'.) If you're a BitTorrent user, you might try the BitTorrent file as a faster/more reliable way to download. This is a huge download (~2.4 GB), unfortunately. Download a template file from below and open it in TeXWorks, and click the appropriate button to typeset your file. (There's a tutorial near the top of that page if you need assistance.) MikTeX comes with an editor called TeXWorks. Go to the MikTeX download page, download the current version of the basic MikTeX installer and run the file you download. This, fortunately, is a reasonable file size to download. All the software you'll ever need to make documents in LaTeX is 100% free, which is great news! Microsoft Windows Users Many Math 301 classes introduce our majors and minors to LaTeX, but here are some resources in case you didn't get started with LaTeX there or just need a refresher. Well, it's a breeze 99% of the time once you've gotten over the learning curve. LaTeX is a document processing system and markup language that makes creating beautifully formatted documents a breeze. Our secret? We don't touch Microsoft Word for these tasks.

You might have wondered how math professors maintain their sanity when writing handouts, quizzes, tests, and research papers loaded with symbols. If you've ever tried to format an equation in Microsoft Word (or any other WYSIWYG word processor), you know how incredibly painful it is. LaTeX (typically pronounced lay-TEK or lah-TEK) is the gold standard for mathematical typesetting.
