I am very new at Jenkins and trying to build my first pipeline.
What I want is for Jenkins to go to a git repo, compile all the .tex files into .pdfs and then save those .pdfs somewhere
I have figured out the first part for connecting to the git repo. my new problem is trying to compile the pdfs
right now my shell script is
cd latex
latexmk -pdf
(I've also tried with pdflatex file.tex, no change)
The builds are failing because the command latexmk is not found. I am trying to figure out how to install latexmk or something similar into Jenkins.
I've tried running commands in the shell like pip install latexmk but those get the same error of pip or apt not being installed. How can I install them so I can compile .tex into .pdfs?
Probably I'm going about this entirely wrong but this is just me kind of stumbling about blindly so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Jenkins is running on (I believe) some flavor of linux, I did not set up the server, it is run and hosted by another team member (who I am currently unable to ask). For this reason I'm not sure how to go about adding things to the path (like this answer sugests Jenkins jasmine-node command not found)
