Most straightforward installation of LaTeX in VSCode

• latexindent.pl

  5 817 8.7 TeX

  Perl script to add indentation (leading horizontal space) to LaTeX files. It can modify line breaks before, during and after code blocks; it can perform text wrapping and paragraph line break removal. It can also perform string-based and regex-based substitutions/replacements. The script is customisable through its YAML interface.

Unfortunately, from my personal experience, MiKTeX and Strawberry Perl is the best combination for Windows. You can try proTeXt or TeX Live as stated in the LaTeX Project website. However, you also need perl to use latexindent, which provides auto-indentation, and it works nicely with VS Code if you want to format your code (or format on save). VS Code generates warning if you have format on save enabled and you do not have a formatter for .tex documents.

  🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  

Technically, MiKTeX is cross-platform but if you are going to use macOS, I believe the most straightforward solution is MacTeX. You can also use Homebrew and tlmgr to install LaTeX. In the case of Linux, it is straightforward as $ sudo apt install texlive-full for Ubuntu, and $ sudo dnf install texlive-scheme-full for Fedora. For UNIX-based systems vanilla perl is sufficient for latexindent.
