Build instructions for macOS

[todrobbins]

I am not able to find/install the dependencies via brew and wondered what the installation instructions would be for a macOS device?

Cheers!

Hi @todrobbins, thanks for trying to build it! That's an interesting question! I don't personally know the answer, since I'm running Ubuntu. And unfortunately, I don't we will be able to maintain up-to-date installation instructions for each of the dependencies in this repository.
Here's my suggestion. As I think the maintainers of the dependencies that fail would be a better source of help for OS-specific installation process of them, could you please specify which ones are failing? Then I'll try to give you direct links to their repositories and/or documentation.

Hello @todrobbins, I do not know. If you or someone else contributes macOS build instructions, we could certainly find a way to add them. Perhaps with a note explaining that we do not test instructions for platforms which we do not use.

Totally fair!

I found out brew install basictex will get me pdflatex which is what the previous make error was listing as missing.

New error is the following:

Okay, so it looks like now the error is that the system is missing the style file for inter fonts.

! LaTeX Error: File `inter.sty' not found.

My system contains a style file for Inter fonts at /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/inter/inter.sty.
This can likely be added to the system by hand, however I do not have experience installing LaTeX fonts except via the package manager.

[ericherman]

On my system, inter.sty is provided by the texlive-fonts-extra package.

$ dpkg-query -S /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/inter/inter.sty
texlive-fonts-extra: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/inter/inter.sty
