Installing MinionPro Mac OSX

Question

This question seems to be everywhere but none of the solutions are working for me.

I am following the github: https://github.com/sebschub/FontPro

I do the following

Move my .otf files into a directory /otf/
Run ./scripts/makeall MinionPro
Run ./scripts/install $(kpsewhich -var TEXMFLOCAL)
Run updmap --enable Map=MinionPro.map

Final output is:

updmap will read the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
  /Users/Jack/Library/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
  /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
  /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap may write changes to the following updmap.cfg file:
  /Users/Jack/Library/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/Users/Jack/Library/texlive/2016/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg unchanged.  Map files not recreated.
updmap: Updating ls-R files.

My Error

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+382/600 --dpi 382 MinionPro-Regular-osf-l1-t1--base
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for MinionPro-Regular-osf-l1-t1--base.
mktexpk: perhaps MinionPro-Regular-osf-l1-t1--base is missing from the map file.

My example

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{MinionPro}

\begin{document}
\begin{equation*}
    a = (b + c) = \big( a + b \big)
\end{equation*} 
\end{document}

Edit More verbose error from TeXShop added

@HerbSchulz In FontPro I make the dir otf as required
My four fonts from Adobe are MinionPro-Bold.otf, MinionPro-BoldIt.otf, MinionPro-It.otf, MinionPro-Regular.otf — Giacomo Pope, Apr 01 '20 at 18:44
I really don't want to spoil the fun, but if you have the otf fonts, then why not using them directly in lualatex or xelatex... — DG', Apr 01 '20 at 19:17
@DG As far as I'm aware, MinionPro also includes some additional kerning for the maths. This is why I am trying to use the package. — Giacomo Pope, Apr 01 '20 at 19:21
My concern is that when installing something has gone into a wrong folder and my maps are badly configured.
Is there a way to basically wipe all textmf and start again?

I tried using this, but it did not fix the error: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/255709/why-shouldnt-i-use-getnonfreefonts-to-install-additional-fonts-why-shouldnt-i — Giacomo Pope, Apr 01 '20 at 19:29
Check the install script and look where it puts stuff in the TDS and delete it then. For what it's worth, try this script: https://github.com/chapter09/Install-MinionPro — DG', Apr 01 '20 at 19:48
I think I did, many years ago. But I don't think, it's worth the trouble. Find some good open type math fonts and go with lualatex. Or use Open Type in math: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/448937/29873 — DG', Apr 01 '20 at 20:13
Which engine you are using? It is much easy in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX compared to PDFLaTeX — GowriSaro, Jan 11 '23 at 16:14

Just want to say that the script DG shared: https://github.com/chapter09/Install-MinionPro

When run against a clean install of MacTex ran without errors and \usepackage{MinionPro} runs with no errors.

I cannot determine the root of the issue I had with FontPro though

Under macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) and using MacTeX 2020, I have encountered the same kind of problem, regardless of the implemented method. I have tried to install the font following:

the README file from Ctan's MinionPro page;
the tips found in answers to this post;
the FontPro script and related instructions;
the script from https://github.com/chapter09/Install-MinionPro;
all of these methods all over again on a clean install each time.

In my case the error is very similar, but the name of the missing file and number changes for each method:

!pdfTeX error: /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex (file MinionPro-Regular-...(DIFFERENT FILE EACH TIME)...-
base): Font MinionPro-Regular-...(DIFFERENT FILE EACH TIME)... at (DIFFERENT NUMBER EACH TIME) not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

The only thing that worked, was adding the following line in the preamble as indicated in the answer to this post:

\pdfmapfile{=MinionPro.map}

This seems to work with both the FontPro and the script from https://github.com/chapter09/Install-MinionPro (did not further test the official procedure).
