2017-08-20 Pandoc on ubuntu and WSLΒΆ
I was using the Windows Subsystem for Linux
to test a module with Linux. I could not make it work
due to an old version of pandoc.
Surprisingly, the default apt-get install pandoc
installed
a very old version (1.12). I could not convert any notebook
with nbconvert into latex.
I finally installed the latest version (1.19) and it worked perfectly.
You can see the installation step in file
.circleci/config.yml.
That was not the last issue because
pandoc seems to be very slow on WSL.
About that, you can read:
massive delay to call pandoc using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or Bash for Windows,
stack ghc painfully slow.
