Research direction

Start by examining the dotfiles repository's nix-darwin and Homebrew configuration, using /usr/local/Caskroom/basictex as the current installation location. Determine where macOS packages and their configuration are declared. Done means BasicTeX is installed and configured as the minimal TeX/LaTeX distribution on macOS.
