When MacTeX is installed, it doesn't touch texmf-local if it already exists, but it creates an empty directory tree if none is present.Ĭonsequently, if you are updating TeX Live to a new version, you want to leave texmf-local alone. These local additions are used by all versions of TeX Live, so if you added files for TeX Live 2021, they are still around for TeX Live 2022. The folder texmf-local is available for local additions to TeX. You will need to provide an administrative password when asked. Drag the folder corresponding to the version of TeX Live you want to uninstall to the trash. You will see folders containing various copies of TeX Live. In the Finder's Go menu, select "Go to Folder" in the resulting dialog window, type "/usr/local/texlive". But it is easy to work around this problem. The only difficulty is that TeX Live is owned by root and lives in a location that is not commonly visible in the Finder. TeX Live 2022 is entirely contained in /usr/local/texlive/2022 the old TeX Live 2021 was in /usr/local/texlive/2021. Luckily, TeX Live is installed in a single directory on the Mac it is not scattered over several different places. The actual TeX distribution TeX Live is by far the largest piece of MacTeX. However, it is fairly easy to remove most software installed by MacTeX. The Apple Installer does not support uninstalling files.
#UNINSTALLING MACPORTS UPGRADE#
Other users have MacTeX-2021 or another earlier distribution, upgrade to the latest version, and want to reclaim space by erasing the old distribution. Some casual users see TeX on the web, download it to experiment, decide that the program is not their cup of tea, and want to get rid of it.
There are two reasons users want to uninstall. Uninstalling - MacTeX - TeX Users Group ** Uninstalling **
