Hi,
I am completely new to LaTeX, I installed MacTeX, and when I try to typeset I get an error saying
/usr/pdflatex does not exist. Perhaps TeXLive was not installed or was removed during a system upgrade. If so, go to the TeXShop web site and follow the instructions to (re)install TeXLive. Another possibility is that a tool path is incorrectly configured in TeXShop preferences. This can happen if you are using the fink teTeX distribution.
can somebody please help me resolve this issue?
many thanks

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

MacTeX and TeXshop /usr/pdflatex does not exist
The error message is from TeXShop, not from MacTeX. Did you download the (vary large) MacTeX installer? If so, can you start the Terminal and type
, and report what you see?
Code: Select all
ls /usr/local
