No LaTex compiler was found!

[johentsch]

Hi there,

I am new to network2tikz and am really glad that it exists! Everything is working fine except compiling the generated latex code on the fly. I have tried it within Jupyter Lab, Atom/Hydrogen but also running the script from the command line. I have also tried passing compiler='pdflatex' although the docs say it should be used automatically. I do have it installed but every time I get the same error:

No LaTex compiler was found! Either specify a LaTex compiler or make sure you have latexmk             or pdfLaTex installed.

Is there anything I can do about it?

I'm having the same issue inside jupyter notebook.
