Converting to pdf in a portable LyX installation

Post by SebLavK »

I've succesfully installed a portable installation of LyX and MiKTeX followint these instructions: https://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/PortableInstallation

Everything works well, except when trying to export to pdf using pdflatex. How can I set, or install, pdflatex and direct LyX to use it within the USB?

I installed it using a computer with LyX already installed on it, so maybe the portable installation got directed to the pdflatex of the computer.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
