Not only is the video great and concise but you also respond to every comment. What a Chad. Your video helped me a lot btw, it is the best guide on how to install latex in vscode that I could find.
Fed this is the first comment I am leaving on any youtube video in the last 5 years. Thanks for all the help. Worked like a charm in 10 mins. I have been trying to crack this for a day now.
I came from your installing texmaker video, and I must say I appreciate your recommendation for vs code as it is much cleaner and more functional than texmaker.
@@eduardo100796 the issue I had was that I tried to "View LaTeX PDF" at first but there was no PDF generated yet. You can see at 10:20 when it start to generate the PDF, pressing "Build LaTeX project" and then wait until it finish the build. If is not that, I also read that your antivirus might prevent external programs to generate documents.
Thanks for the video, it made my life a lot easier, this video was the second one I saw about installing LaTeX on Windows and using VSCode and the first one made me very angry, because it used a way to not install Perl but it didn't compile the references, so it generated errors that weren't solved in the video, but following this video it worked the first time.

Thank you! Very nice video, I love working with VSC and did not even know about its Latex capabilities. Worked out like a charm, no errors encountered on the way :)
Hey! Thanks for the tutorial. I followed these steps, however I am getting an error message "recipe terminated with error. Source: latex workshop" while building the file/project. Can you suggest what I should do?
I tried for hours to get miktex set up with sublime and I couldn't figure it out at all. Tried with texstudio and texmaker and hated the layout. I am so glad I found out it runs well on VSCode
This won't work for me! I have installed MikTex, Perl, and the Latex Workshop Extension, but I still get an error when trying to compile the PDF. I do think it has something to do with the VSC settings, and which compiler is being used, but I can't seem to find anything that works for me.
I also have this problem. It's saying "Sorry, but pdflatex did not succeed." and refers to read the output in some log files but I don't seem to find a solution.
@@martinnilsson9168 I finally got it working. The problem was more with the document I was trying to build than the system. The document needed to use Xelatex to build it (which it said in one of the magic commands), but the magic command didn't seem to work. Reordering the recipes in the Json settings file of VSC seemed to do the trick. However, this isn't a complete fix, certainly not if I want to build documents with a different recipe, because the magic commands don't seem to work, and I'd have to manually change the recipes each time I want to have it automatically select the right one (I know I can click the desired recipe, but then I'd have to switch tab every time, and I can't use build on save).
thanks, i had a problem because my main file was inside a MAIN folder and could not access the other folders outside this MAIN folder nor the other files inside the MAIN folder, but after putting the main file in the folder that contains all the other folders (i.e., outside the MAIN folder) now it's runnig smothly soo thank you very much
I have a company-PC, so I have no Admin rights. The problem is that only Strawberry Perl needs them because of chances of the hdd. Are there other options to use instead of Perl?
Muchas gracias por tan buen tutorial, estaba instalando con TEX LIVE y estaba dándome error por cada cosa, peroseguí tus indicaciones al pié de la letra y no hubo complicaciones. Thansk a lot!
Thank you for the very nice video!! It helped me a lot, but after I install all, I say "View LaTex PDF" and it says "Recipe terminated with fatal error: spawn latexmk ENOENT." "Cannot view file PDF file. File not found". What shold I do??
Hi, when i try to compile my first doc i thet this error in vscode. 'Recipe terminated with fatal error: spawn latexmk ENOENT. (source: LateX Workshop). If i open the latex workshop log it seems to me say that latexmk is not recognized as an internal or external command. Next it asks if the executable exists, and lists my system path. I manually added the folder location to the path but it still doesnt work. I also checked if latexmk.exe exists in the folder and it does... I installed in the default folder as in the video: C\Users\'My_name'\AppData\Local\Programs\MikTeX Maybe you (or someone else) encountered this problem. Thanks for the video nonetheless!
Thank you for great tutorial! But there is one thing missing in LaTeX workshop. I am using TeXstudio and I can find source in tex file from PDF. This is not possible in LaTeX workshop? I have document consist of 100pages and more source tex files. It is helpful, when I need to change something. Just right click on pdf preview and there is go to source. There is nothing simmilar in VSCode? despit of this it is great extension, but not very good for big documents, due to mentioned missing feature. But intellisense is far better than in TeXstudio.
I am aware that this is a bit issue. When I recorded the video you could not do back search but maybe things have now changed. On a side note I was able to implement back search inside pycharm. This is my preferred option anyway. I love pycharm and together with texify it allows you to compile LaTeX documents.
I don’t use vscode much. I mainly compile my document inside PyCharm and over there I am using Grammarly as a spellcheck.

Actually, it turned out to be the setting for "controlled folder access" -- had to set that to "off" (apparently it's ransomware protection). Windows was blocking perl's ability to write the pdf to the folder. Not sure how to grant perl access rights.
Thank you for the tutorial. Out of the 20 odd packages in the document I am trying to compile, LaTeX Workshop complains about the minted package only: \usepackage{minted} Do you know how to fix this?
@@FedericoTartarini Recipe terminated with error. I open the compiler log and extract the following message: Package minted Error: You must invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape flag.

Thank you. That was a great and detailed tutorial. I just cannot get my .bib file to run in VS code. It says I do not have an extension for debugging BibTex. How do I solve this?
@@FedericoTartarini Yes I have followed all the steps exactly. Please forget my first comment. The exact problem that I'm having is when i code the cite command in my main.tex and try to give the key from my sample.bib file, it does not recognizie the key. (I've saved both the .tex and sample.bib file in the same location). Do I have to call the sample.bib file inside the main.tex file so it can recognize the key?
