Pandoc, Mactex, Markdown to PDF

I've had to install and configure these things a few times, and I always forget how to do it, so here it is for posterity:

  • Update brew and install pandoc:

    brew update
    brew install pandoc
    
  • Install mactex from https://www.tug.org/mactex/

  • Update $PATH

    # add the following to .zshrc or wherever you define your $PATH
    export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-darwin"
    

    It's also possible that pdflatex is in a slightly different path depending on the version of MacLaTeX.

  • Create PDF from Markdown

    pandoc doc.md -o doc.pdf
