Hi, I've tried to install LaTeX to my mac, however the url for downloading dmg file does not work:

mactex installation is OK

m:~ mvlkova$ brew cask install mactex
==> Satisfying dependencies
==> Downloading http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/mac/mactex/mactex-20170524.pkg
######################################################################## 100.0%

Password:

==> installer: Installing at base path /
==> installer: The install was successful.
🍺 mactex was successfully installed!

However texmaker is not

m:~ mvlkova$ brew cask install texmaker
==> Satisfying dependencies
==> Downloading http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/assets/files/texmaker-5.0.1.dmg

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Error: Download failed on Cask 'texmaker' with message: Download failed: http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/assets/files/texmaker-5.0.1.dmg
Error: Install incomplete.
m:~ mvlkova$

How can I solve this?

The description how to test your installation is only available in Windows: https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/sci-work-course/blob/master/doc/install-windows.md#test-installation . We should also describe these steps for the Mac and Linux environment.

See 847b881

In TeXmaker 4.5 the Configure TeXmaker changed its position in the menu.

acroviewR17 instead of acroviewR15

Hi,
here's some advices.
I installed the mactex & texmaker with Homebrew

brew install mactex texmaker

And it told me that the formulas are found in a tap. Hence, it should be installed with Homebrew Cask:

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew cask install mactex texmaker

Any help would be welcome for that @stweil @jmechnich @JKamlah

e.g. tex\context\base\supp-pdf.mkii package is needed for graphicx

If this installation fails from TeXnicCenter, then try to use the MiKTeX Package Manager (maybe also as Administrator), see

• http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/49338/miktex-2-9-install-packages-on-the-fly
• http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9034

See #298

Some info:

• https://pic-projekte.de/blog/sumatra-pdf-mit-texniccenter/
• https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/116981/how-to-configure-texniccenter-2-0-with-sumatra-2013-2016-version

but someone should try it out and give feedback. Ideally a pull request here could be done.

The questions from the FAQs about LaTeX should be better moved here as another .md file from https://bib.uni-mannheim.de/index.php?id=1129

This is how the settings for Adobe Acrobat DC should look like

See http://www.bib.uni-mannheim.de/go-research.html for the current info about installation of LaTeX.

Moreover, we should rethink the place of the FAQs and also add this one: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/250472/texniccenter-adobe-reader-dc
