I'm trying to use Asymptote with TeXShop on Mac OS X 10.8.5. I'm attempting to follow the instructions given at http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/TeXShopAndAsymptote.pdf
I got through step 2, but when it came to step 3, creating the asymptote engine, I discovered that I didn't have a folder called ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines
. I didn't even have a folder called ~/Library/TeXShop
.
So I created both folders, then created a text file with the code specified in step 3 of the above document and saved it as asyEngine.Engine
. Then I finished steps 4 and 5, but no asyEngine
appears in my drop-down list of engines in TeXShop. I'm not sure what to do.

stands for your home; open a Finder window and type Command+Shift+G; in the box that appears, type~/Library/TeXshop
, you'll be taken in the right folder. – egreg Jan 28 '14 at 8:41asyEngine.Engine
should be calledasyEngine.engine
instead, as your instructions say. – strpeter Jan 28 '14 at 10:43
