sudo tlmgr update --self
sudo tlmgr install texliveonfly

Works like a charm on M1 mac (Rosetta enabled). Thanks!

@naturela0 did you use the rosetta brew to install basictex as well?

thanks

@kevingoh Yes I did. Did everything on Rosetta.

Homebrew has removed cask in the latest updates , the command can now just be brew install basictex

Thanks

Anyone seeing above issue?

Yeah, it seems xetex/xelatex is now a part of basic installation, so no additional package is required anymore.

Cool, thanks! :)

Worked like a charm!

Latest commands (for M1):
brew install basictex
sudo tlmgr update --self
sudo tlmgr install texliveonfly
sudo tlmgr install adjustbox
sudo tlmgr install tcolorbox
sudo tlmgr install collectbox
sudo tlmgr install ucs
sudo tlmgr install environ
sudo tlmgr install trimspaces
sudo tlmgr install titling
sudo tlmgr install enumitem
sudo tlmgr install rsfs

This works great on M1 (without Rosetta), thanks!

Thank you very much :)

Had to replace brew cask install basictex with brew install --cask basictex, as the first command gives Error: Unknown command: cask. Seems like a recent change.

Thank you!

This doesn't quite work. I ended up downloading the 4G package.

Works like a charm, thank you!

thanks!

cheers!

sudo tlmgr install wrapfig
sudo tlmgr install capt-of

Do you need these packages to output pdf using emacs

You may encounter errors such as below

tlmgr: package repository https://mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet (not verified: gpg unavailable)

just run this command, and then continue

$ sudo tlmgr --repository http://www.texlive.info/tlgpg/ install tlgpg

Nice

I had to add sudo tlmgr install latexmk for the LaTeX Workshop extension to work in VS Code.

sudo tlmgr install rsfs

This works perfectly on my Mac! Thanks

I had some issues for missing packages or not the latest version for some (siunitx) for my tex file. I just downloaded Mactex, whopping file, but it seemed to plug in the holes to run xelatex.
