     A LaTeX distribution is required to install.
 
     You can install MacTeX distribution from:
       http://www.tug.org/mactex/
 
-    Make sure that its bin directory is in your PATH before proceeding.
-
-    You may also need to restore the ownership of Homebrew install:
-      sudo chown -R $USER `brew --prefix`
+    Make sure that "/usr/texbin", or the location you installed it to, is in
+    your PATH before proceeding.
