The graphical interface programs needed to access TeX are installed in /Applications/TeX. This location was simplified last year for easier use. The four GUI programs BibDesk, LaTeXiT, TeX Live Utility, and TeXShop are at the top level, and a small number of documents and spelling programs are in a folder named Docs and Spell Utilities.

MacTeX is a free redistribution of TeX Live, a typesetting environment based on TeX. While TeX Live is designed to be cross-platform (running on Unix, macOS, and Windows), MacTeX includes Mac-specific utilities and front-ends (such as TeXShop and BibDesk).[1] It is also pre-configured to work out-of-the-box with macOS, as it provides sensible defaults for configuration options that, in TeX Live, are left up to the user to allow for its cross-platform compatibility.
Details[edit]
MacTeX is packaged and distributed by the MacTeX TeXnical working group, a subgroup of TeX Users Group (TUG). TeX Live is distributed by the TUG, making MacTeX less a fork of TeX Live than a customised repackaging.
The full MacTeX install package contains three subpackages:[1]
- GUI-Applications
- Excalibur (a LaTeX spell checker)
- LaTeXiT (a LaTeX equation editor)
- TeX Live Utility (a utility to update, install or remove parts of TeX Live)
- TeXShop (A Mac-based TeX editor)
- Ghostscript (an open source version of PostScript)
As of 2019, the content of the full MacTeX installation exceeds 4 GB in size. However, a substantially smaller version of MacTeX, BasicTeX, which does not contain Ghostscript or the aforementioned GUI programs, can be used in its stead along with a TeX editor as well.[2][3]

Here are the steps to install TeX Live first and then SW without the TeX Live install:
It may be necessary to disable any antivirus software. If you are behind a firewall, this may cause problems and prevent using the over the network TeX Live installation (see the note below).
1. For Windows, visit http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html. On that page, click the link to install-tl-windows.exe to download the install file.
For Mac, visit http://tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html. Click the link to MacTeX.pkg to download this install file.
2. When the download is complete, double-click to start the install. Follow the default installation instructions. Wait until the installation is complete, which may take an hour or more.
3. Start the SW/SWP installation. Be sure to use the current installer from our Downloads page.
4. On the Select Components dialog turn off 'TeX Live Network Install'
5. Use the default selections for the remaining dialogs. Wait for the installation to complete. Be sure to Activate to enable full functionality.
NOTE: Some firewalls prevent using the over the network install. You can instead download a .iso image to install TeX Live. See http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-iso.html for information.
Additional install details
For Windows
There have been reports that using the download file install-tl-windows.exe still results in errors during installation. As suggested by the download page, an alternative is to download the zip archive install-tl.zip. Unzip the archive into a directory and in that directory run one of the .bat files that launches the installer. Using the .bat file install-tl-advanced.bat generally is more successful. Install time using this method can be an hour or more, depending on your network connection speed.
