MacTeX is a TeX distribution for macOS that bundles the full TeX Live together with macOS-specific GUI tools into a single installer package. The editor TeXShop, the bibliography manager BibDesk, and the distribution switching tool TeX Live Utility are installed along with it. Because it is large, a reduced version called BasicTeX, which lets you install only the packages you need, is also provided.
