<p>If you install any reasonable TeX distribution it should have
the<br>
packages you need. If you try to custom install on your own, I
imagine<br>
you will spend a lot of time adding packages one by one.</p>
<p>I just use the MacTeX distribution, which seems to have
everything I need:</p>
<p><a href=
"https://tug.org/mactex/">https://tug.org/mactex/</a></p>
<p>Whenever I get a new computer, I install this, the MMD latex
support<br>
files, and I'm good to go.</p>
<p>As for the tabulary problem, perhaps you didn't properly install
it or<br>
you installed a version incompatible with the rest of your system?
I<br>
have not had that error.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, I can't spend a lot of time helping everyone
sort<br>
out their LaTeX install problems -- LaTeX is a complicated suite
of<br>
programs, and there are plenty of LaTeX groups for that. But if
you<br>
want information about LaTeX from other MMD users, you're welcome
to ask<br>
on the discussion list -- many of the subscribers there use
LaTeX:</p>

assumed that would work out. I'm trying mactex now.</p>

tex-live.</p>
<p>Did you "skimp" on your initial install to save disk space? I do
that<br>
on most things, but it seems to backfire on LaTeX for me.</p>
