pandoc pdflatex conversion on M1 Mac

pandoc pdflatex conversion on M1 Mac

[Martin Eiermann]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1514 bytes --]

I just upgraded to a new Mac with M1 chip and OS X 11.4. I'm writing mostly 
in Atom, then using pandoc to convert Markdown/LaTeX outputs to PDF. But I 
now get the following error: 

*pandoc: pdflatex not found. pdflatex is needed for pdf output.*

I installed (and re-installed) the latest 2021 release of BasicTeX, but 
pdflatex doesn't appear in the terminal:

*pdflatex -- version *
*zsh: command not found: pdflatex *

But pdflatex is in /Library/TeX/texbin/. And I can also manually locate it 
in the terminal: 

*locate pdflatex 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/matplotlib/tests/baseline_images/test_backend_pgf/pgf_pdflatex.pdf 
/usr/local/texlive/2021basic/bin/universal-darwin/pdflatex 
/usr/local/texlive/2021basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/pdflatex.ini 
/usr/local/texlive/2021basic/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt 
/usr/local/texlive/2021basic/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.log*

Is pandoc looking for pdflatex in the wrong directory? I'm a bit out of my 
comfort zone here, so any advice is much appreciated. Many thanks! 

Martin

[John MacFarlane]

Pandoc will look for pdflatex in your PATH.
So, just make sure that /Library/TeX/texbin is in your PATH.
If `which pdflatex` doesn't find it, then pandoc won't either.

Re: pandoc pdflatex conversion on M1 Mac

[John MacFarlane]

You can also use

   --pdf-engine=/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex
