Hello.

Try to compile basic example using PyLaTex. But the same error: CompilerError: No LaTex compiler was found Either specify a LaTex compiler or make sure you have latexmk or pdfLaTex installed.

Everywhere solutions for Linux. Please, help for windows 10.

I have already installed it and I don't have idea why it doesn't work

ChristianKleineidam commented 1 year ago

Is it in your path?

catauggie commented 1 year ago

I have already added a folder to path, but maybe not that. It should contains miktex.exe?

ChristianKleineidam commented 1 year ago

No, it has to contain the compiler you want to use, so latexmk or pdfLaTex.

can you please provide an example of such path?

ChristianKleineidam commented 1 year ago

This is a Github issue and you are already abusing it by putting in personal help topic that doesn't really belong here. I don't feel like this is the place to put effort into explaining how to put things into path.

Yes, there's enough answers for this problem on Google/stackoverflow
