Your BasicTex installation should include tlmgr, which you can run from the 
terminal to install a package (see 
<https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html#install-option...-pkg>): 
tlmgr install titlesec 
should do it. However, if you can spare 2gigabytes, it's worth downloading 
the whole MacTex distribution (<http://www.tug.org/mactex/>)
