To make it work, I installed latex, typical latex extra, and pandoc.

With ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install texlive texlive-latex-extra pandoc

it takes some times: several 100 Mb to download. I read somewhere that you can use --no-install-recommends for texlive and extra to reduce to the dl.

pandoc is not a python package. IPython\nbconvert\utils\pandoc.py is not pandoc itself, but merely a helper module.

For conda users, there is a pandoc package available at conda-forge.

conda install -c conda-forge pandoc

Alternatively, you can download the latest release from the pandoc's github repository.
