I have a Windows 8 machine and I just ran the pandoc-1.13-windows.msi installer. The installer did not let me choose an install path, but it finished without error. I cannot run pandoc from the command line so I'm guessing I have to update the path. But I have no idea where pandoc was installed. Where is pandoc installed?
With recent* versions of Pandoc, the program is installed for the individual user in their own profile at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Pandoc , which, for most users will be C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Pandoc .
Using the R package installr , and then run installr::install. pandoc() . It will automatically install the Windows msi and add the PATH for you. You may review the user path in environment variables: C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Pandoc\ .
Open a new Terminal (type cmd+n if you are currently using Terminal ), first type pandoc --version . If the version is waht you want, then input which pandoc . The path of this version of Pandoc will be shown.
Right-click on Computer. Then go to “Properties” and select the tab “Advanced System Settings”. Choose “Environment Variables” and select Path from the list of system variables. Click OK as often as needed.
Location for Pandoc - C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Pandoc
With recent* versions of Pandoc, the program is installed for the individual user in their own profile at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Pandoc
, which, for most users will be C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Pandoc
.
If you choose to install for All Users, Pandoc is instead installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Pandoc
(you can change this location by clicking on the Advanced button).
In either case, when the Windows Setup program has finished installing the software, it should print a message showing the version of Pandoc and its installation path.
*Tested using the 64-bit installer for Windows 7 with Pandoc versions 1.19.2.1 to 2.1.3.
