I have both Tex-Live 2020 and 2019 installed (MacTeX 2020 and 2019). Tex-Live 2020 is the default.

Once in a while I need to use tex-live 2019 instead of 2020. For this I: i) open the Tex-Live graphical interface and switch the default distribution to 2019; ii) run (pdf)latex; and iii) switch distribution back to 2020.

Is there a way to either:

  1. Make “latexmk” use Tex-Live 2019 without switching the default?
  2. Switching the default from the command line?

Thanks!

    for latexmk as for pdflatex you just need to switch the PATH to have the 2019 bin directory before the 2020 one.

  • Are you typesetting in Terminal or using a front end app?

  • Working on the terminal… but @DavidCarlisle solution worked great for me. Thanks! I should have tried that before asking…
