On macOS prior to Catalina, the preinstalled tlmgr command is used to install \(\TeX\) packages from CTAN. To install tlmgr on macOS Catalina using Homebrew, run
brew cask install mactex
To list currently installed packages
tlmgr list --only-installed
To update tlmgr itself - you won’t be able to install packages unless you do
sudo tlmgr update --self
To install packages required by the eisvogel \(\LaTeX\) template for Pandoc
sudo tlmgr install csquotes mdframed needspace sourcesanspro ly1 mweights sourcecodepro titling pagecolor
The command needs to be run with sudo because the path where \(\TeX\) and associated packages are installed is at /usr/local/texlive/2016basic/texmf-dist/tex and does not have write permission for my user.
To use the eisvogel template, clone its repo
git clone https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template.git
To render PDF, in the folder cloned above, run
pandoc file.md -f gfm -o file.pdf --template ./eisvogel.tex --variable titlepage=true
Remove the --variable titlepage=true option if you don’t want a title page.
