This is the app I want to install, in ubuntu it was done automatically, but somehow in Mac it seems that I have to install manually.

Writer2LaTeX

http://writer2latex.sourceforge.net/

In the instruction for Unix and friends:

  1. Unzip writer2latex114alpha.zip into some directory. This will create a subdirectory writer2latex11.

  2. Add this directory to your PATH environment variable

  3. Add execute permissions to w2l as follows:

chmod +x w2l

In some cases you may have to edit the script slightly... (3.1.2.)

The instruction is barely instructive. I am not very familiar with this method of setting up, I wondered if someone can create a step by step guide that I can follow through? I am on OX 10.6.8 with Java installed.
