./build-examples.sh: line 16: pdftoppm: command not found

Would be great if you could add pdftoppm as necessary requirement (or dev-requirement). In fact, it is poppler that packages pdftoppm for macOS. How to satisfy the requirements should be then easy to figure out by everyone e.g., sudo port install poppler or brew install poppler

Then later, after installing poppler, there's a new unmet requirement:

Could not find executable pandoc-latex-environment

So, to the rescue comes

$ pip install pandoc-latex-environment

and then everything works. Luckily

The documentation definitely needs some improvement regarding on how to build everything yourself.
