- Windows: [TeX Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX_Live)
- Windows:

- [MikTeX](https://miktex.org/) is most common for Windows,
but suffers from a number of issues like shipping outdated components
leading to, e.g. [Asymptote issue](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/663245/76888).

- [TeX Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX_Live) is better,
but often takes forever to install on Windows for
[reasons unknown to humanity](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/666988/76888).

- Mac: [MacTeX](https://www.tug.org/mactex/)

- Linux: [TeX Live](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX_Live),
almost certainly available from your package manager
(e.g. `pacman -S texlive-core` or `apt install texlive`)
(e.g. `pacman -S texlive-core` or `apt install texlive`).
Unlike Windows, on Linux this should install in at most a few minutes
if your Internet connection is decent.
