- Install and use pdflatex to compile LaTeX documents into PDFs on Linux. Use when generating academic papers, research publications, or any documents written in LaTeX.
PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below.
- Install the TexLive base
apt-get install texlive-latex-base
On Windows, install MiKTeX or TeX Live with the native installer or a package manager such as winget. The apt-get commands only work in Linux or WSL.
- Also install the recommended and extra fonts to avoid running into errors, when trying to use pdflatex on latex files with more fonts.
apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended
apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra
- Install the extra packages,
apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
Once installed as above, you may be able to create PDF files from latex sources using PdfLatex as below.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
This skill should be used when the user asks to "set up a Jira automation to create pull requests", "poll Jira for create-pr issues", "automatically create GitHub PRs from Jira tickets", "deploy a Jira issue-to-PR automation", "create a Jira to GitHub PR workflow", or mentions automating GitHub PR creation from a Jira label. Deploys a cron-based OpenHands automation that watches a Jira Cloud project for issues labeled with a configurable label (default: "create-pr") and spawns an agent conversation to create a GitHub pull request for each new issue found. The target GitHub repository is read from the body of the Jira ticket - no repo parameter is required at deploy time.
