Windows: After the download is complete you can start
installation file. If updating an existing installation using Scientific Word
or Scientific WorkPlace, you will generally not need to update the TeX
installation or the Ghostscript installation.
Macintosh: Version 6.1 is not compatible for use with
macOS® 11.0 Big Sur or
10.15 Catalina. The TeX Live installer is

Spotlight, the OS X system search. Many utilities like Alfred and Launchbar

frequently already taken so the macro feature is unavailable. Now, the

ctrl+space
ctrl+alt+space
ctrl+alt+cmd+space
shift+ctrl+alt+cmd+space
All the modifier keys are near each other, so these combinations are actually
accessible. When using OS X, try ctrl+space and if that doesn't work, go down
this list until you find something that does. The escape key exits the macro
tool.
