The current distribution is MacTeX-2021 This distribution requires Mac OS 10.14, Mojave, or higher and runs natively on Intel and Arm processors. To download, click MacTeX Download. You can also install TeX Live 2021 using the TeX Live Unix Install Script. Adobe Camera Raw for Mac. The Adobe Camera Raw plug- in became the latest must- have tool for professional photographers when it was released in February 2. This powerful plug- in has been frequently updated to support more cameras and include more features and is available as part of Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Most of the time, you can re-download the current version of macOS via the Mac App Store, and older ones via these links:

However, I’ve run into a situation several times where the Software Update mechanism simply refuses to initiate a download:

Thankfully, macOS installers can be downloaded via Terminal in macOS Catalina. This command will download the most recent version of macOS, depositing it in your Applications folder:

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer

The softwareupdate command has some neat tricks up its sleeve, as pointed out by Armin Briegel:

The --fetch-full-installer flag has a sub-flag: --full-installer-version which allows you to download a specific version.

During my testing in the Catalina beta version I was able to download 10.15, 10.14.6, 10.14.5, and 10.13.6. I was not able to test if 10.13.6 would download the hardware specific build of 10.13.6 for the 2018 MacBook Pro, since I do not have that hardware.

So, to pull 10.13.6 down, you’d use:

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.13.6

I wish Apple would just have a support document up with direct downloads for all of this stuff, but this tool is not a bad alternative.

Update: Don’t miss this documentation from JAMF for more on the subject.

The MSIX SDK offers developers a universal way to distribute package contents to client devices regardless of the OS platform on the client device. This enables developers to package their app content once instead of having to package for each platform.

To take advantage of the MSIX SDK and the ability to distribute your package contents to multiple platforms, we provide a way to specify the target platforms where you want your packages to extract to. This means you can ensure that the package contents are being extracted from the package only as you desire.

The following table shows the target device families to declare in the manifest.

In the app package manifest file, you will need to include the appropriate target device family if you like the package contents to be only extracted on specific platforms and devices. If you like the bulid the package in such a way that it is supported on all platform and device types, choose Platform.All as the target device family. Similarly, if you like the package to be only supported in web apps, choose Web.All.

Sample manifest file (AppxManifest.xml)

Platform version

Spixel (microbytearts) Mac Os X

In the above sample manifest file, along with the platform name, there are also parameters to specify the MinVersion and MaxVersionTested These parameters are used on Windows 10 platforms. On Windows 10, the package will only be deployed on Windows 10 OS versions greater than the MinVersion. On other non-Windows 10 platforms, the MinVersion and MaxVersionTested parameters aren't used to make the declaration of whether to extract the package contents.

If you would like to use the package for all platforms (Windows 10 and non-Windows 10), we recommend that you use the MinVersion and MaxVersionTested parameters to specify the Windows 10 OS Versions where you would like your app to work. So your manifest's Dependencies section would look like this:

MinVersion and MaxVersionTested are required fields in the manifest and they need to conform the quad notation(#.#.#.#). If you are only using the MSIX packaging SDK for only non-Windows 10 platforms, you can simply use '0.0.0.0' as the MinVersion and MaxVersionTested as the versions.

How to effectively use the same package on all platforms (Windows 10 and non-Windows 10)

To make the most of the MSIX Packaging SDK, you will need to build the package in a way that will be deployed like an app package on Windows 10 and at the same time supported on other platforms. On Windows 10, you can build the package as an App Extension. For more information about App Extensions and how they can help make your app extensible, see the Introduction to App Extensions blog post.

In the manifest file example shown earlier in this article, you will notice a Properties element within the AppExtension element. There is no validation performed in this section of the manifest file. This allows developers to specify the required metadata between extension and host/client app.
