I guess you used Miktex ? Texlive will include everything so no need to add packages, but the initial installations takes like forever.

You can open the miktex package manager and install the required packages yourself.

From the manual:
When using LaTeX, the following packages need to be available (they are included with all recent versions of TeX Live<https://www.tug.org/texlive/>): amsfonts<https://ctan.org/pkg/amsfonts>, amsmath<https://ctan.org/pkg/amsmath>, lm<https://ctan.org/pkg/lm>, unicode-math<https://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math>, iftex<https://ctan.org/pkg/iftex>, listings<https://ctan.org/pkg/listings> (if the --listings<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--listings> option is used), fancyvrb<https://ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb>, longtable<https://ctan.org/pkg/longtable>, booktabs<https://ctan.org/pkg/booktabs>, graphicx<https://ctan.org/pkg/graphicx> (if the document contains images), hyperref<https://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref>, xcolor<https://ctan.org/pkg/xcolor>, ulem<https://ctan.org/pkg/ulem>, geometry<https://ctan.org/pkg/geometry> (with the geometry variable set), setspace<https://ctan.org/pkg/setspace> (with linestretch), and babel<https://ctan.org/pkg/babel> (with lang). If CJKmainfont is set, xeCJK<https://ctan.org/pkg/xecjk> is needed. The use of xelatex or lualatex as the PDF engine requires fontspec<https://ctan.org/pkg/fontspec>. lualatex uses selnolig<https://ctan.org/pkg/selnolig>. xelatex uses bidi<https://ctan.org/pkg/bidi> (with the dir variable set). If the mathspec variable is set, xelatex will use mathspec<https://ctan.org/pkg/mathspec> instead of unicode-math<https://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math>. The upquote<https://ctan.org/pkg/upquote> and microtype<https://ctan.org/pkg/microtype> packages are used if available, and csquotes<https://ctan.org/pkg/csquotes> will be used for typography<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#typography> if the csquotes variable or metadata field is set to a true value. The natbib<https://ctan.org/pkg/natbib>, biblatex<https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex>, bibtex<https://ctan.org/pkg/bibtex>, and biber<https://ctan.org/pkg/biber> packages can optionally be used for citation rendering<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#citation-rendering-1>. The following packages will be used to improve output quality if present, but pandoc does not require them to be present: upquote<https://ctan.org/pkg/upquote> (for straight quotes in verbatim environments), microtype<https://ctan.org/pkg/microtype> (for better spacing adjustments), parskip<https://ctan.org/pkg/parskip> (for better inter-paragraph spaces), xurl<https://ctan.org/pkg/xurl> (for better line breaks in URLs), bookmark<https://ctan.org/pkg/bookmark> (for better PDF bookmarks), and footnotehyper<https://ctan.org/pkg/footnotehyper> or footnote<https://ctan.org/pkg/footnote> (to allow footnotes in tables).

Great, it worked!

One issue tho: how do I download all required files together? There were some fonts missing! It wants me to download 10+ files by clicking install individually every time there is pop up window. Why I can't download them all at once? Every time this happens I don't want to be clicking god knows how many times on install and then waiting...

Anyway: you can use one of those :
Miktex: https://miktex.org/
TeXLive : https://tug.org/texlive/

Hello,

I Am trying to convert .epub to .pdf. I tried syntax: pandoc test1.md -s -o test1.tex

But it says: pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install pdflatex

How do I install pdflatex please? Google found nothing! I Am on Windows 10!

Thanks!
