I have been writing my resume in LaTeX for more than a decade now. Writing your resume in LaTex has it’s own benefits.You can check it out here:
Now, writing your resume in all LaTex is all well and good but converting it into pdf on macOS is a task on it’s own. The MacTeX package is a BIG download of around 6GB and it’s not worth spending so much time and energy for only trying to convert your resume from LaTex to PDF. Well, you can ofcourse use one of the online latex-to-pdf converter or you can install the
basictex package and set your local mac environment capable of converting to PDF.
LaTeXiT is a small utility that allows you to quickly typeset LaTeX equations, without bothering with file creation, preambles, and so on. The PDF image. To set up a TeX/LaTeX system on macOS, download and open this disk image. Then drag the MiKTeX icon onto the Applications folder. Please read the tutorial, if you want step-by-step guidance.
Follow these steps to get it working:
Credits where it’s due: Get Mactex Faster
The idea came from this website, though the issue was it was not working without
sudo . Hence, wrote this post more of an reminder of how to get LaTex to PDF working on macOS

The simplest way to get the latest pandoc release is to use the installer.
For alternative ways to install pandoc, see below under the heading for your operating system.
Windows
There is a package installer at pandoc’s download page. This will install pandoc, replacing older versions, and update your path to include the directory where pandoc’s binaries are installed.
If you prefer not to use the msi installer, we also provide a zip file that contains pandoc’s binaries and documentation. Simply unzip this file and move the binaries to a directory of your choice.
Alternatively, you can install pandoc using Chocolatey:
Chocolatey can also install other software that integrates with Pandoc. For example, to install
rsvg-convert (from librsvg, covering formats without SVG support), Python (to use Pandoc filters), and MiKTeX (to typeset PDFs with LaTeX):
By default, Pandoc creates PDFs using LaTeX. We recommend installing it via MiKTeX.
macOS
There is a package installer at pandoc’s download page. If you later want to uninstall the package, you can do so by downloading this script and running it with
perl uninstall-pandoc.pl .
Latex Editor Mac
Alternatively, you can install pandoc using Homebrew:
To include pandoc’s citation parser:
Homebrew can also install other software that integrates with Pandoc. For example, to install librsvg (its
rsvg-convert covers formats without SVG support), Python (to use Pandoc filters), and BasicTeX (to typeset PDFs with LaTeX):
Latex Download Software
Note: On unsupported versions of macOS (more than three releases old), Homebrew installs from source, which takes additional time and disk space for the
ghc compiler and dependent Haskell libraries.
We also provide a zip file containing the binaries and man pages, for those who prefer not to use the installer. Simply unzip the file and move the binaries and man pages to whatever directory you like.
By default, Pandoc creates PDFs using LaTeX. Because a full MacTeX installation uses four gigabytes of disk space, we recommend BasicTeX or TinyTeX and using the
tlmgr tool to install additional packages as needed. If you receive errors warning of fonts not found:
Linux
Check whether the pandoc version in your package manager is not outdated. Pandoc is in the Debian, Ubuntu, Slackware, Arch, Fedora, NiXOS, openSUSE, gentoo and Void repositories.
To get the latest release, we provide a binary package for amd64 architecture on the download page.
This provides both
pandoc and pandoc-citeproc . The executables are statically linked and have no dynamic dependencies or dependencies on external data files. Note: because of the static linking, the pandoc binary from this package cannot use lua filters that require external lua modules written in C.
Both a tarball and a deb installer are provided. To install the deb:
where
$DEB is the path to the downloaded deb. This will install the pandoc and pandoc-citeproc executables and man pages.
If you use an RPM-based distro, you may be able to install the deb from our download page using
alien .
On any distro, you may install from the tarball into
$DEST (say, /usr/local/ or $HOME/.local ) by doing
where
$TGZ is the path to the downloaded zipped tarball. For Pandoc versions before 2.0, which don’t provide a tarball, try instead
You can also install from source, using the instructions below under Compiling from source. Note that most distros have the Haskell platform in their package repositories. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu, you can install it with
apt-get install haskell-platform .
For PDF output, you’ll need LaTeX. We recommend installing TeX Live via your package manager. (On Debian/Ubuntu,
apt-get install texlive .)
Chrome OS
On Chrome OS, pandoc can be installed using the chromebrew package manager with the command:
This will automatically build and configure pandoc for the specific device you are using.
BSD
Pandoc is in the NetBSD and FreeBSD ports repositories.
Docker
The official Docker images for pandoc can be found at https://github.com/pandoc/dockerfiles and at dockerhub.
The pandoc/core image contains
pandoc and pandoc-citeproc .
The pandoc/latex image also contains the minimal LaTeX installation needed to produce PDFs using pandoc.
To run pandoc using Docker, converting
README.md to README.pdf :
GitHub Actions
Pandoc can be run through GitHub Actions. For some examples, see https://github.com/pandoc/pandoc-action-example.
Compiling from source
If for some reason a binary package is not available for your platform, or if you want to hack on pandoc or use a non-released version, you can install from source.
Getting the pandoc source code
Source tarballs can be found at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc. For example, to fetch the source for version 1.17.0.3:
Or you can fetch the development code by cloning the repository:
Note: there may be times when the development code is broken or depends on other libraries which must be installed separately. Unless you really know what you’re doing, install the last released version.
Quick stack method
The easiest way to build pandoc from source is to use stack:
Quick cabal method
Custom cabal method
This is a step-by-step procedure that offers maximal control over the build and installation. Most users should use the quick install, but this information may be of use to packagers. For more details, see the Cabal User’s Guide. These instructions assume that the pandoc source directory is your working directory. You will need cabal version 2.0 or higher.
Creating a relocatable binary
It is possible to compile pandoc such that the data files pandoc uses are embedded in the binary. The resulting binary can be run from any directory and is completely self-contained. With cabal, add
-fembed_data_files to the cabal configure or cabal install commands.
With stack, use
--flag pandoc:embed_data_files .
Running tests
Pandoc comes with an automated test suite. To run with cabal,
cabal test ; to run with stack, stack test .
![]()
To run particular tests (pattern-matching on their names), use the
-p option:
Or with stack:
It is often helpful to add
-j4 (run tests in parallel) and --hide-successes (don’t clutter output with successes) to the test arguments as well.
If you add a new feature to pandoc, please add tests as well, following the pattern of the existing tests. The test suite code is in
test/test-pandoc.hs . If you are adding a new reader or writer, it is probably easiest to add some data files to the test directory, and modify test/Tests/Old.hs . Otherwise, it is better to modify the module under the test/Tests hierarchy corresponding to the pandoc module you are changing.
Running benchmarks
To build and run the benchmarks:
or with stack:
To use a smaller sample size so the benchmarks run faster:
To run just the markdown benchmarks:
