Problems to install eforms / acrotex package on a Mac OS

Postby srei » Sat Jun 15, 2024 11:53 pm

Hi all,
have problems to install the eforms package https://ctan.org/pkg/eforms?lang=en on a Mac OS, 14.4.1.
I tried to install the package out of MikTex Console - but it cannot be found and a manual installation fails. I am even not able to set up a local repository.
I also tried this (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... n-mac-os-x), but the latex command generated errors:

Has anyone an idea how to go on? Thanks a lot!
