Errors due to pdflatex

Post by bubbadoobop »

Hi, I'm new to LaTeX, I'm loving it so far. However, I'm trying to build a document to see the title page, but it keeps giving me this error

Code: Select all

Could not start the command.
pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
I have absolutely no idea what this means. If you were wondering what my OS was, I'm on Manjaro 15.12 XFCE, if something isn't installed.

It seems you don't have LaTeX installed.
On Linux, best to install the vanilla TeX Live coming from TUG: quick install guide
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
