mactex cask does not link or give instructions to link #2277
Comments

Mactex uses a pkg installer, which means that when it is installed via homebrew-cask it is installed in the same manner it would be if you had done it manually (this means no links are made, unless the installer does them itself). This project shares many similarities with homebrew, but due to the nature of the apps we install, there are some things we cannot control (like containing the app in a specific directory), specially in the case of pkgs, where it often requires changes to the system. What we can do is add a message, as you suggested, explaining what should be done next. As I’ve never used or installed mactex, what is the message you feel should be added (as succinctly as possible)? |

Warns user that they may need to add the mactex `/usr/texbin` directory to their PATH manually, as the package does not seem to do this or symlink automatically. Fixes Homebrew#2277. See also [this comment](Homebrew#2284 (comment)) on Homebrew#2284 for more information.

Warns user that they may need to add LaTeX-related executables to their PATH. Similar to Homebrew#2284, related to Homebrew#2277.

I installed MacTeX, but it didn't symlink the contents of
/usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-darwin/in/usr/localor similar, nor did it tell me that I need to do that or something like it, such as including the path to it in my PATH.It would be convenient if it said something if doing the link wasn't enough.
