Troubles in installing package
You need to place your file here:
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex
and then you need to run sudo mktexlsr
.
But it's possible to place this file in your home:
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex
For me it's /Users/ego/Library/texmf/tex/latex
. This doesn't require anything else.
Be careful, if you update your distribution, the version of tabu
inside your personal texmf
is always used.

I'm using TeXShop (V 2.47) on my Mac (V 10.7.4) and tried to install the tabu-package but failed. Here is what I did:
- Saved the tabu.dtx and tabu.ins file in my Donwloads-directory (source for both files)
- Run tabu.ins in TeXShop.
- After compilation several new files were generated in my Donwloads-directory, such as tabu.sty.
- Run the following command in Terminal to open the directory, where I wanted to save the tabu.sty: open /usr/local/texlive/2010/
Now, the problem is, that I don't know where to copy the tabu.sty. I thought TeX Live Utility might be a tool for these kind of issues but running it (the first time) only produced a new problem:
2012-06-11 20:48:42 +0000 Notice -[TLMOperation main][11119] tlmgr: package repository http://ctan.dcc.uchile.cl/systems/texlive/tlnet The supported release as specified by the repository (2011) does not match the release version of the installation (2010), bailing out.

egreg over 11 yearsFirst of all, you should consider to upgrade to MacTeX/TeX Live 2011 (but MacTeX/TeX Live 2012 is in the final stage before release, so you may want to wait for it). Look at this answer and change
llncs
totabu
for a temporary installation.
