overleaf doesnt compile in winedt

Post by ordonezcem »

Hi, i ve dowloaded an overleaf template and i cant figure out how to compile it using winedt.

When i am trying to compile using the pdfTexify engine I get You must change your typesettin engine to e.g., "xekatex" or "lualatex" instead of "latex" or "pdflatex", so I tryed using the xelatex engine and i got

package expl3 Error : Required primitives not found.

I ve also updated the miktex software.


I am really stuck in this, any tip would be helful

Thanks in advance

I attach the template and the log file

I've not tested the template, because I hate templates. They make more trouble then profit.

But your log-files shows, that your LaTeX-Installation is not up-to-date, e.g.,
Package: ltxcmds 2011/11/09 v1.22 LaTeX kernel commands for general use (HO)
As you can see at the the MiKTeX package information the current MiKTeX version of that package is version 1.24 not 1.22.

So you should do one more update using the MiKTeX-Console and its Administrator mode and one more update using the MiKTeX-Console in user mode.

However, the log-file is not complete. So it seems you've aborted the LaTeX run before it terminated (with or without error). The snippet does not show any error. So I'm not able to say anything about your problem.
Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms. :cry:
