Texlive Utility For Mac

  1. Under Mac OS X, the TeX Live distribution is called MacTeX. It contains a neat little graphical application that lets you update your distribution. The application is called “TeX Live Utility” and can be found in Applications - TeX. It has a built-in update function to keep the application itself up-to-date.
  2. MacTeX is a TeXLive distribution modified especially for use on Mac OSX. It will install every thing you need to run ConTeXt, TeX, LaTeX, Xe(La)TeX, along with the editors TeXShop and TeXWorks, the TeX Live Utility for managing updates, fonts and many other goodies. As MacTeX is a TeXLive distribution all binaries are generally frozen for a year.

Tex Live Utility Mactex

Hello.
I recently acquired a MacBook, and I also just installed the MacTeX 2010 distribution. How convenient to have been updated just recently, hehe.
Well, the thing is, I've used MikTeX before on my desktop machine. With MikTeX's package manager, I could check all (I think) of CTAN packages, whether with the TeX Live Utility I can only check the TeX Live packages, that is: /systems/texlive/tlnet/.Tex live utility mac download

Texlive Utility For Mac Installer


Is there a compatibility problem or reason why I can't use other packages by default? Is there a way to install these other packages using this tool, or is it all through command-line? In any case, how can I install non-TeX Live packages?
