Last night, I migrated my MacBook's operating system from 10.10 "Yosemite" to 10.11 "El Capitan". Everything seemed to go smoothly. Happily, regarding my TeX-related work, I am able to use the GUI front ends "TeXworks" and "TeXshop" just fine since completing the OS upgrade. I use MacTeX2015, with all the latest updates installed.  Oddly, though, since completing the upgrade I can no longer run any MacTeX command-line utilities such as texdoc and kpsewhich. (Actually, as I just discovered, I can no longer run pdflatex either from a command line. However, I never do run pdflatex from a command line prompt, so that's not an urgent problem for me -- at least not for now.)  The suggestions given in the posting  do not seem to be applicable to this case, as they all seem to revolve around setting up /usr/texbin correctly -- /usr/texbin is no longer allowed under MacOSX 10.11. The document  by Herb Schulz deals in depth with adjusting settings in the GUI front ends, but it appears not to touch on what to do about /usr/texbin, which appears to be the now-missing link to TeX's command line utilities.   Pointers and solutions most welcome!

How do I get past the "do not enter" traffic sign that stops me from installing "Sierra" instead of "High Sierra"?  I booted into rescue mode and deleted the original "High Sierra" installation, but booting from the USB stick with the "Sierra" installer on it still gives me the "no".

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13&quot; with the M1 chip and transferred all my data over using a Time Machine backup. Homebrew packages are currently installed in /usr/local/opt/ but it is my understanding that they should be under /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon Macs. How can I:  Get the list of packages I currently have installed Remove those from /user/local/opt Reinstall them under /opt/homebrew  I kind of assumed Homebrew would be clever enough to do this automatically but apparently it needs some manual maintenance. Here's my Homebrew config if it helps: HOMEBREW_VERSION: 2.7.2 ORIGIN: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew HEAD: dad7dc6a1498b80770d98f2d7cd6fb927c300bbb Last commit: 3 days ago Core tap ORIGIN: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core Core tap HEAD: 2b1d79d038bffdbfcee93283051d48919a4caf3d Core tap last commit: 16 hours ago Core tap branch: master HOMEBREW_PREFIX: /usr/local HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY: /usr/local/Homebrew HOMEBREW_CELLAR: /usr/local/Cellar HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS: [] HOMEBREW_MAKE_JOBS: 8 Homebrew Ruby: 2.6.3 =&gt; /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/bin/ruby CPU: octa-core 64-bit arm_firestorm_icestorm Clang: 12.0 build 1200 Git: 2.30.0 =&gt; /usr/local/bin/git Curl: 7.64.1 =&gt; /usr/bin/curl macOS: 11.1-arm64 CLT: 12.3.0.0.1.1607026830 Xcode: N/A Rosetta 2: false  Thanks in advance!

On June 28, 2017, Apple  that     macOS High Sierra will be the last macOS release to support 32-bit apps without compromise.   How can I find out which apps on my Mac are 32-bit so that I can see if I need to upgrade them?

Using OSX 10.8.4., I am having a hard time finding a complete list of all software applications installed on my Mac.  Of course, the Launchpad only shows the list of those that have an app shortcut created, excluding those that do not.  I also tried holding down the Option key while in the Apple Menu to change About This Mac to System Information, then Software--&gt;Installations but that still was not a complete list.  How do I get a complete list of all applications installed?

I performed a fresh install of macOS Mojave 10.14. Immediately after that I installed Xcode Version 10.0 (10A255) from the Mac App Store.  Now, I wish to install Homebrew which requires Xcode Command Line Tools to be installed. My understanding is that installing Xcode also installs the Command Line Tools. Or not?  As per , I checked if the Command Line Tools are installed by running:  xcode-select -p  which printed the path for the Developer directory as follows:  /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer   As suggested in the answer, I also verified the return value by running:  echo $?  which retuned 0.  I also ran, gcc and make and bash was able to locate and execute them.  Thus far I am convinced that the Xcode Command Line Tools are installed. Now when I execute:  xcode-select --install  I get this alert:    What's the probable reason for this disparity? Will this install Xcode Command Line Tools twice? Or overwrite the existing installation?  As I understand, Xcode Command Line Tools can be installed without installing Xcode. Also, from my previous experience, if the Command Line Tools aren't installed separately from Xcode (by running xcode-select --install), they are not detected by Homebrew, i.e. when running brew config, the value for CLT: is shown as N/A.  Here's the complete picture (pardon the pun):    Although I am talking in context of macOS Mojave, the question remains the same with regard to previous versions of macOS.  What is the advisable approach to take here?  Note: After installing Xcode, I launched it, accepted license agreement and let it finish its run of installing additional tools (which is a one time activity).

I tried to install "Macbuntu" which is not compatible with 13.04 and I don't know why? But I used force option on command line nothing changed so I uninstalled "macbuntu". Now the problem is that the top menu just disappeared. For example when I'm using sublime_text or Chrome there is no menu option (File, Edit, etc..) on the panel. I tried using unity --reset-icons option but it didn't work. Any help will be appreciated.

I would like to know how to install LaTeX on Mac 10.6 or higher.  But the MacTeX is some 1.28 GB file! Is there a smaller distribution I could install?  What exactly is TeX Live?

I’m trying to install macOS Sierra on VirtualBox, but can’t seem to make it work. For reference, here are the steps I took.   Downloaded the Install macOS Sierra app from the App Store. Used the inbuilt media creation executable, CreateInstallMedia on a disk image. Created a new VM with the default settings for an OS X El Capitan, plus 128 VRAM. Since VirtualBox refused to accept the DMG, I tried splicing out the InstallESD. VirtualBox now accepted it, but wouldn’t boot. I tried to boot through rEFInd, but still no luck. I tried to patch it both ways (base system and ESD) with iesd. No luck. When booting to GParted LiveCD, it flat-out refused to discover any of the installer CDs.   How can I patch the installer to work with VirtualBox? I don’t want to use pre-patched versions of either the installer or an existing installation, as though to avoid piracy.

This is a followup on this post of mine:   I'm now running MacOS High Sierra 10.13.5 and this problem is still irritating.  I use my Mac as a Standard user. When I first set it up, all applications were downloaded/installed using the Admin user.  When using my Mac as the Standard user, every time I go to run an application I get the following message:  "Whatever.app" is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?   With the options for Cancel and Open. Of course I choose Open and everything works fine.  Now, I am used to this notice appearing the first time I try to run an app from the internet. My problem is that it appears every time.  Note that I am not asked for any Administrator credentials, and these apps have already been installed to the /Applications directory as an Administrator.  I have tried with a different Standard user and still have the same issue. I have also already used Disk Utility to repair the drive permissions, just in case.  How can I make this notice appear only on the first run?  ==========================================================  More details:  If I install an application, while logged in as the Standard user, but authenticating as the Administrator, then it only warns me about the Application on the first run, and then never again, as long as I am still logged in as that Standard user.  But all the applications I installed while logged in as Administrator give me a pop up warning every time if I try to run them while logged in as a Standard user.   There is a "solution" to this problem, but it is so incredibly inelegant. For every application I downloaded and installed, while logged in as Administrator, simply installing the application is not enough. I must actually login as the Administrator and launch the application at least once to clear the warning for all other users. This seems incredible silly. Surely there must be a better way to accomplish this?
