i tried installing texlive-latex and bibtool, then it showed a blank screen rather than the pdf itself! i also got a bibtool warning message may be i should try that in kitty rather than alacritty

Errors also launching on my Archlinux. I'm not sure if they are related to the previous post. Or if this is a termpdf.py problem or how it was installed on my system.

Inside kitty terminal,

termpdf.py somefile.pdf
