Setting up LaTeX on Mac OS X

These are my notes for getting LaTeX running on Mac OS X with the components and fonts I want. Which is handy when you want to generate PDFs from Sphinx. At some point I want to replace this with a Docker container similar https://github.com/blang/latex-docker, albeit with the components in parts 3 and 4 below.

1. Get mactex-basic.pkg from https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mactex-basic

2. Click mactex-basic.pkg to install LaTeX.

3. Update tlmgr:

   sudo tlmgr update --self
   

4. Install the following tools via tlmgr:

   sudo tlmgr install titlesec
   sudo tlmgr install framed
   sudo tlmgr install threeparttable
   sudo tlmgr install wrapfig
   sudo tlmgr install multirow
   sudo tlmgr install enumitem
   sudo tlmgr install bbding
   sudo tlmgr install titling
   sudo tlmgr install tabu
   sudo tlmgr install mdframed
   sudo tlmgr install tcolorbox
   sudo tlmgr install textpos
   sudo tlmgr install import
   sudo tlmgr install varwidth
   sudo tlmgr install needspace
   sudo tlmgr install tocloft
   sudo tlmgr install ntheorem
   sudo tlmgr install environ
   sudo tlmgr install trimspaces
   

5. Install fonts via tlmgr:

   sudo tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended
   

note: Yes, I know I can install the basic LaTeX package using Homebrew, but sometimes I like doing things manually.
