No Directory Available Error #20

Closed chelseas closed 6 years ago

chelseas commented 6 years ago

I got this error trying to use TikzGraphs, not sure how to remedy it.

Error saving as SVG could not spawn lualatex --enable-write18 --output-directory=. tikzpicture: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

This is my code: using LightGraphs using TikzGraphs g = Grid([5,5]) TikzGraphs.plot(g)

You need lualatex installed (ideally through texlive) and on your path. After that's done, confirm that it is on your path by running ;lualatex -v (note the ; to run a shell command). You may have to completely restart Jupyter from a fresh terminal so that you get the updated path.

lualatex was already installed, I typed the following: lualatex -v

And got the following output:

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) (rev 5238)

Execute 'luatex --credits' for credits and version details.

So my guess is that it's complaining about the output directory flag, which does look a bit weird to me:

--output-directory=. tikzpicture

Ah nevermind, you were right. I was running the code on one server yesterday, and that server (jodhpur) doesn't seem to have texlive/lualatex, whereas I'm running on a different server today (tula) which does. My mistake. It works on tula.
