VSCode LaTex Mac

Using Latex on macOS

Download MacTex (~3/4 GB with most packages included), via homebrew, support for Apple Silicon

Guide

I followed mostly VSCODE CONFIG LATEX (MAC), which is quite comprehensive and easy to follow.

The only adjustment I need is the directory for skim location /opt/homebrew/bin/ if installed via homebrew.

Also don’t delete syntex.gz file as it’s required for bi-directional jumping between VSCode and Skim.
