pandoc pdfengine [solved]

I have installed pandoc in order to be able to export my markdowns as pdf. But it prompts me that I need a pdf engine in order to do this, and I am not able to find one. Has anyone solved this?

Re: pandoc pdfengine [solved]

From the pandoc manual -

To produce a PDF, specify an output file with a `.pdf` extension:

    pandoc test.txt -o test.pdf

By default, pandoc will use LaTeX to create the PDF, which requires
that a LaTeX engine be installed (see `--pdf-engine` below).

so install LaTeX
