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
