Easy to install but does not ship with Perl which the latexmk package requires.
Install MiKTeX using the above link. Then you have the option to upgrade your installation to a standard TeX system. Just click the Upgrade button. Please be aware that this starts a ~200MB download. Alternatively, you can turn on the auto-install feature and let MiKTeX install missing packages on-the-fly. You can find this option in the Settings tab.
On Windows
You can install Perl using Strawberry Perl, which is available here.
Once it's installed, you can verify that Perl is available by opening a new command prompt and typing perl -v. If it's installed correctly, you should see the version of Perl that you installed.
Verify that both Perl and MiKTeX are in your PATH and restart any open command prompts.
You should now be able to compile your $LaTeX$ files using MiKTeX.
On MacOS
You can install Perl using Homebrew, which is available here.
brew install perl

Add ~/bin to your PATH by adding the following line to your ~/.zshrc file:
export PATH="/Users/<username>/bin:$PATH"
Warning
Here we use the full path instead of using ~/bin or $HOME/bin because the ~ and $HOME variables does not works if used in combination with the VS Code latex-workshop extension.
You should now be able to compile your $LaTeX$ files using MiKTeX.
