Pandoc slides

I made a markdown slideshow but got an error message when I wanted to convert the .md to .pdf. Here's a Linux Mint solution.

Error:

pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.
! LaTeX Error: File `beamer.cls' not found.

Type X to quit or to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)

Enter file name:
! Emergency stop.

       
l.2 \usepackage

Solution:

# sudo apt-get install latex-beamer

Then the code worked like a charm:

# pandoc lastlesson.md -t beamer -o myslides.pdf
