Rendering a Document

Description

Hi, I am new to Quarto and I am trying to render a document on Jupyternotebook on VS and I have Quarto installed in the extensions however when I run this code: quarto render united1_quarto.ipynb –to pdf it gives me an error stating: quarto : The term 'quarto' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Did you install Quarto CLI?
See https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/.
I suggest you go through the get started guide which will help get started as a new Quarto user.

it is being very weird, for some reason one I ran it, it output a latex file, and now it just give me that error and giving me png files of my graphs?
and I am running it on .conda
and if I type quarto check it gives me:

You need to provide a fully reproducible example, possibly via a Git repository.
Also, please format your post using code blocks to share code or terminal outputs.

From the output of Quarto, it does not seem you have any LaTeX distribution, so there is no way Quarto can render to PDF, without the tools to do so.
See https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/pdf-engine.html.

Hi,

Sorry about that, I am not sure how to do that as I am not familiar with this as it is my first time.

And will use code blocks. However, I was able to install LaTeX distributions however I am still getting the same error:

I believe you are missing a - in your command, i.e., --to.
