<summary>💡 An alternative to heavyweight MacTeX bundle.</summary>

> To avoid installing the full MacTeX bundle, which is ~6GB, you can alternatively install the
> lightweight [BasicTeX](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/basictex) and then gradually add
> only the LaTeX packages you actually need. A list of packages sufficient to run examples can
> be found [here](https://github.com/3b1b/manim/issues/2133#issuecomment-2414547866).
> For an overview of the MacTeX installer bundles, see https://www.tug.org/mactex/.
