However, this requires a least basic understanding of LaTeX, Markdown and Scrivener itself. With Scrivener you can elegantly create LaTeX documents using MMD 3 (Multi Markdown 3) and compile them into LaTeX and the PDF. If you are going to write a long thesis you might want to checkout Scrivener additionally. Now, get your favorite editor, if you don’t have it yet.
Skim is a PDF viewer like Acrobat Reader or Preview, but observes the opened PDF file for changes and provides further functionality like PDFSync (where you can Cmd-Shift-Click into the document to redirect the editor to the appropriate line in the TeX file). You need to install it separately from the R base distribution and home brew will tell you, how to connect RStudio to R easily. brew install RĪs a convenient R GUI I recommend RStudio, which integrates the standard R workflow with console, script editor, plot and workspace tiles nicely. Just for the sake of completeness: For processing, number crunching, or algorithmic prototyping I like to use either Python or Matlab (sometimes also C++), whatever fits best or where I have the right tools at hand.įor my statistics stuff as well as the graphs, i. e., the visual data presentation, I like to use The R Statistical Project.Īs a Home Brew user, you can install R simply using the following command. You can get the distribution from the web site or from any of its mirrors. On OS X my distribution of choice is MacTeX. To compile any LaTeX document you will need to have a TeX distribution installed. I hope you find the following pages useful and would be happy if you drop some comments! Scrivener professional writing tool - optional.R the statistical/plotting tool - optional.The LaTeX environment I introduce here is based upon the following tools. However, all this comfort requires some configuration work first and this might not be completely easy, especially compared to Linux setups, where you just need to call aptitude install blabla. The configuration is supposed to be easy to use and in particular convenient, i. e., not having to invoke (pdf)latex over and over again. Most of which should be exchangeable with the modules of your choice, especially regarding the editor. My configuration is build on the usage of different building blocks. Since I have been using LaTeX under Mac OS X for quite a while now, I’d like to write down my experiences and especially my configurations here, to share it both with you and my future self. This page is ongoing work, thus please be patient until I finished the documentation.
