locating executable fails

[cmaeder]

I tried to install lmh outside docker by looking into https://github.com/KWARC/localmh_docker/blob/master/Dockerfile. Although I've pdflatex installed in /usr/bin I get:

$ lmh setup --no-firstrun --install all
Unable to locate latex executable 'pdflatex'. 
Please make sure it is in the $PATH environment variable. 
It is recommened to use TeXLive 2013 or later. 
On Ubtuntu 13.10 or later you can install this with: 
    sudo apt-get install texlive
For older Ubtuntu versions please see: 
    http://askubuntu.com/a/163683
Dependency check failed. 
Cannot perform specefied action. 
Use --no-check to skip checking dependencies.

It worked with "sudo" in front and option --no-check
