I've followed the instructions in the README.md however the LaTeX input option doesn't show up (also not after a reboot):

Among the many things Apple changed about input in High Sierra is that it no longer seems to auto-add input methods from your ~/Library. On Mojave, if I hit the + button at the lower left and search for "latex", it shows up as a Chinese input method, but works great. (Now if only there were a way to change input method for just the next char then revert back to US)

it's a pity that High Sierra is not supporting this. The icon is gray after I installed the keyboard.

The updated answer is here: https://support.apple.com/en-sa/guide/mac-help/mchlp2866/10.15/mac/10.15 (Choose your MacOS version from the menu)

TL;DR

  1. save the .CIN file in another place, like ~/Downloads
  2. open it in a text editor and save under a different name, e.g. LaTex.cin†
  3. double-click the file The file then appears in your desired destinations, the LIbrary folder, the Input Sources menu item, and System Preferences

† step 2 is one workaround for "unknown developer" warning. If you add it directly to Library Input Sources, and double click, it disappears! Apple System Integrity must reject the old method.

Apple suggests a different file format, Unicode (UTF-16) encoding, and an extension such as “.inputplugin.”. Files in .cin format are "also supported".
