Follow instructions below (about downloading the packages) given by the earlier poster.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Assuming that the TeXworks application did not work at first, you need to install the libraries. The locations of the libraries may be troublesome, because you cannot see where they are supposed to be placed. To get around this, start Terminal (which is in Applications/Utilities on your System Disk if you haven't done this before.) Double click on it as usual, and you will get a window that looks like an old MS-DOS window (but of course it's Unix.) This is a command-line prompt. </div><div><br></div><div>3. In the Terminal application,</div><div> type <b>defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE </b>(followed by Enter)</div><div> Type <b>killall Finder</b> (Enter)</div><div><br></div><div>4. All the hidden files, directories, etc will now be visible in the Finder. You then navigate to the appropriate folders as indicated on the second package you downloaded. For example, one folder is titled "into /Library/Frameworks" and you should find the formerly hidden folder on your System Disk /Library/Frameworks. Put the three folders Qt... into this folder. Move the other folder "into /usr/local/lib"</div><div>into the /usr/local/lib folder on your System Disk.</div><div><br></div><div>5.
