title: Using conda to install LaTeX on Mac
body: <p>Is there a way to use conda to install LaTeX on a Mac? I use Spyder and I am having trouble getting LaTeX to work to format figures.</p>
  
  <p>I tried just downloading LaTeX from <a href="http://www.tug.org/mactex/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.tug.org/mactex/</a>, but that seems unrelated to Spyder. I also tried installing Miktex with conda, but that seems to be for Windows only.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I'm using macOS Mojave version 10.14.6. I see on the MacTeX <a href="https://www.tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">website</a>:</p>
  
  <p>"When Apple produced El Capitan, they modified the system so users could no longer write directly to the /usr directory and this rule remains in effect today. Therefore we replaced /usr/texbin with /Library/TeX/texbin."</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if that is relevant or not.</p>
