being a new TextMate user I want to install now a TeX/LaTex distribution. Yet there are so many of them. Which one works best with the LaTeX bundle of Textmate?
The LaTeX bundle Help says this on the issue:
To use Typeset & View and other commands from the LaTeX bundle you will need to install a TeX package separately.
We recommend that you use MacTeX ➲ to install the necessary parts as it comes with a standard “no questions asked” installer.
As of this writing, the installer also takes care of updating your PATH variable (by modifying /etc/profile) so TextMate will be able to find the installed pdflatex. If you are using another distribution you may need to setup the path manually ⓘ .
The bundle should really work with any distribution, but MacTeX is the simplest one to install, in my experience.
