Installation notes?

[gandalfsaxe]

Hi,

Pandoc filter noob here. The other pandoc filter I needed installed via

cabal install pandoc-crossref

I tried cabal install pandoc-minted to no avail. How does one install this? :)

[gandalfsaxe]

This this page I'm guessing it could be these three commands:

runhaskell Setup.hs configure --ghc
runhaskell Setup.hs build
runhaskell Setup.hs install

However when running runhaskell Setup.hs configure --ghc I get error:

Setup.hs: Encountered missing dependencies:
base ==4.9.*, pandoc -any, pandoc-types -any

Not sure how to fix.

Hey! Thanks for your interest. I've not (ever) published (any package) to Hackage. I'm guessing that's why cabal install pandoc-minted doesn't work. You should be able to clone the project and run cabal install from there. I'll take a look this weekend, or sooner if I'm able.

Ah so just cabal install Setup.hs or?

I ended up using this filter, which should be the same just written in python: https://github.com/nick-ulle/pandoc-minted

• just through pip install pandoc-minted thanks to this pypackage: https://pypi.org/project/pandoc-minted/

So it's not critical for me anymore. But for good measure, and in case some people in the future find the Haskell filter more useful for some reason, you could still look into it :)

I've ran into the issue that I can't compile a .md to a .pdf directly with pandoc, but only using pandoc to generate a .tex, and then use pdflatex to generate a PDF, same issue as this: nick-ulle/pandoc-minted#2 - i.e. something about shell-escape not working properly.

Have you tried compiling straight from .md to .pdf using pandoc? Would love for this to work.
