I want to install TexMaker 4.5 on Mac OS X 10.9.5. On the official page, I clicked on Texmaker 4.5 for MacosxLion (64 bits)
and opened the folder that is downloaded. It contains the application texmaker
.
I double-clicked it and made a small MWE. If I want to compile it, it says
Could not start the command.
"pdflatex" -syntex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
What should I do? Do I have to install LaTeX separately befor installing a compiler?
Update
I have installed LaTeX separately according to Monomeeth's answer below. Apparently, TexMaker 4.5 did not find them or it was not the correct version.
Next, I installed a version of MacTex manually according to this site, namely the 2016 version. Now TexMaker 4.5 is able to compile a file.
