If you don't use MacPorts of Fink, I recommend the i-Installer. I heard some reports that those package did not get the fonts correct when exporting to PDF, but to be honest: it worked flawlessly for me.

If you use a package manager like MacPorts or Fink, simply use that manager to install the required package. proTeXt Recommended Windows distribution by the TeX Users Group. MacTeX Recommended Mac distribution by the TeX Users Group. teTeX One of the most widely used distributions. Has nice features like the ability to include any (TrueType or OpenType) font, and natively supports UTF-8. XeTeX A newer distribution originating on the Mac. It is now the recommended choice, as it contains platform specific latex binaries, such as XeTeX and MacTeX. See for example TeX Distributions at, Common LaTeX distributions at the Latex Project or.

If you use MacPort, use MacPorts to install it, otherwise install it manually. If you use a Mac and don't want to decide yourself: install TeX Live.
