Emacs markdown-mode error on preview: “bin / bash: markdown: command not found”

Question

I am using emacs 24 on fedora 17. I installed markdown-mode, but whenever I try to export a file by typing C-c C-c m or C-c C-c p in emacs

Answer 1

• Add emacs package repository to init.el:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)

• Refresh packages:

M-x package-refresh-contents

• Install emacs major mode markdown-mode by evaluating:

M-x package-install RET markdown-mode RET

• Install markdown processor for your operating system:

brew install pandoc
#OR
sudo apt-get install pandoc

• Verify pandoc installation:

which pandoc
# returns /usr/local/bin/pandoc

• Map the markdown parser in init.el:

(custom-set-variables
  '(markdown-command "/usr/local/bin/pandoc"))
