Installing LaTeX

Several of my students have been asking me about installation of LaTeX for Mac OS X. Below is a series of steps:

-1) Download the MacTeX package: http://www.tug.org/mactex/
-2) Follow the GUI instructions to install MacTeX
-3) Download and Install TeXShop: http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/
-4) Install a reference manager such as JabRef: http://jabref.sourceforge.net/

Note: TeXShop may already be included with the newer MacTeX distributions.
