Umm, download my distribution and click the 'Install' buttons of my
installer?

Umm, read the README's from my distribution including the one that shows
up in the installer window at startup? (The answer is, for system wide
use (all users) use /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.local and for personal
use, ~/Library/texmf). I leave those alone when installing. Follow the
tree structure in /Library/teTeX/share/texmf as a template or read
README.howtexfindsfiles.
