Installing pdf-tools in doom-emacs on MacOS about academic-doom-emacs-config HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks!

Installing to MacOS from a repo seemed a bit tricky (Dunn/emacs can't be tapped currently), but I was able to install pdf-tools in doom emacs after following this: politza/pdf-tools#645 (comment). I thought I'd post this in case others on MacOS are interested in your setup but have the same problem.
I can now open PDFs from the file explorer, but 'M-x org-noter' still does not work. When I first entered it, it prompted me to build the epdfinfo program, which I accepted. This built epdfinfo in my ~/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-## folder, possibly overwriting what was there. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
EDIT: building epdfinfo did not cause a problem, but 'M-x org-noter' still just creates a note without opening a pdf. I'm a noob but I noticed your init file does not use the (require 'package) syntax. Do I need to install org-noter and pdf-tools dependencies from within emacs to get this to work?
EDIT2: I realised packages are installed via package.el. I've figured out that when I hit TAB+f2 to directly open the PDF from the bib file, the pdf opens fine. So the issue is just with org-noter.
EDIT3: Got it to work! I had to comment out your setq doom-font block which I had copied into my config file (to see what the fonts would look like, I'm surprised this caused a problem). I didn't have the font Iosevka Term SSO4 and somehow this was messing things up.

I am sorry that you are having issues with loading pdfs.

I use fedora and manjaro (desktop and laptop).

I installed emacs using the native comp branch (this got merged into main emacs yesterday, but I have not updated).

I installed DOOM using

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install 

I had to rebuild pdf-tools a couple of times, but eventually it ended up working. Try installing pdf-tools manually from a repo.

I am glad you got it to work @brendanterry !
