pdflatex not found even though MikTex is already installed (Windows) about plotneuralnet HOT 3 OPEN

Facing the same issue

from plotneuralnet.

Hi all,

I am getting this error when running the example:

../tikzmake.sh: line 5: pdflatex: command not found
rm: cannot remove '*.aux': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '*.log': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '*.vscodeLog': No such file or directory
../tikzmake.sh: line 13: xdg-open: command not found

I am not sure why this happens. I have installed MikTex and it is added to my path:

The following method worked for me

Adding pdflatex to PATH on Windows

1. Find the Path to pdflatex:

   • Open File Explorer.
   • Navigate to the directory where pdflatex is installed. By default, if you've installed LaTeX using MiKTeX, it might be located in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX<version>\miktex\bin or C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX<version>\miktex\bin if you're using a 32-bit version.

2. Add pdflatex to System Environment Variables:

   • Right-click on "This PC" or "My Computer" (depending on your Windows version) and select "Properties".
   • In the System window, click on "Advanced system settings" on the left panel.
   • In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom.
   • In the Environment Variables window, under the "System variables" section, find the "Path" variable and select it, then click on "Edit".
   • Click on "New" and add the path to the directory where pdflatex is located. Ensure each path in the list is separated by a semicolon (;).
   • Click "OK" to close each window.

3. Verify Installation:

   • Open Command Prompt (search for "cmd" in the Start menu).
   • Type pdflatex --version and press Enter.
   • If pdflatex is correctly added to the PATH, you should see version information printed in the Command Prompt.

Hi, thanks for the instructions!
However, even though the pdflatex version info shows up when I type pdflatex --version in a command prompt, I'm still facing the same error
