You can either choose to install latexmk or change the builder to use a builder that does not require latexmk. If you don't want to install the entire MacTeX distribution-which is pretty big- BasicTeX will also work, though you may need to spend more time ensuring all the packages you need are installed! One such package that is missing is latexmk, which is a script for building LaTeX documents, which LaTeXTools uses by default. MacTeX 2008 does not seem to work out of the box, so please upgrade. We have tested MacTeX versions 2010-2016, both 32 and 64 bits these work fine. Just download and install it in the usual way. On OSX, you need to be running the MacTeX distribution (which is pretty much the only one available on the Mac anyway). See the OS-specific instructions below for details on what needs to be adjusted. Please pay careful attention to the settings in the Platform-Specific Settings for your platform, as these may need to be adjusted for your environment. To open this file, please select Preferences | Package Settings | LaTeXTools | Settings – User. If you are running LaTeXTools for the first time, you may want to run the LaTeXTools: Reset user settings to default command from the Command Palette to get an editable copy of the settings file. Please note that if you do a manual installation, the package must be named "LaTeXTools". zip file from GitHub and extract it to your Sublime Packages directory (you can open it easily from ST, by clicking on Preferences | Browse Packages). If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can always clone the git repository or else just grab the plugin's. Start typing LaTeXTools and when you see it, select it.

This will bring up a quick panel with a list of installable plugins. Once, you have Package Control installed, launch the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+shift+p (Windows / Linux) or ⌘+shift+p (OS X) and select the Package Control: Install Package option. If you don't already have Package Control, instructions to install it can be found here (it's very easy!). It's awesome and makes it easy to keep your installed packages up-to-date.

The recommended way to install the LaTeXTools plugin is via Package Control. The various options for TeX distributions are discussed in the OS-specific sections below. You will also need to install a TeX distribution, but this can be done separately. For ST3, the plugin has been tested against the latest beta versions, though it may work for dev builds as well. You will need to be running either SublimeText 2 or 3.
