echo your $PATH & site-packages after activating venv. The activation logic does some juggling with the PATH so maybe pandoc slipped out?
Did you activate your virtual python env with ‘source .venv/bin/activate’? You must do that in each new shell unless you add some config to your shell profile config to have it detect the presence of a python venv.
Yep.
Prompt changes to (venv) foo@bar.
I can run other libraries
Okay perfect, just wanted to check.
Next I’d say check your venv to verify the pandoc binary is indeed there:
find $VIRTUAL_ENV -name pandoc
If it’s not there, you should be able to install it by entering a python shell from your venv and do:
import pypandoc
pypandoc.download_pandoc()
Hopefully that’s able to resolve it for ya. Venv should be at the front of your path so it should prefer bins from there.
