enter image description hereI'm using texstudio on Mac for a long time and everything used to work well. Suddenly, I get the following error message for every tex file I try to run:



Error: Could not start the command: pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "filename".tex


I believe it happened after I made some changes to my python installations on the computer. Any idea?

  • I'm not sure how to use latex in the terminal. I uploaded the folder in the current directory and then past the command you suggested. I got the massege: -bash: pdflatex: command not found

  • I’d guess that the changes made to the python installation played with you PATH variable and you lost /Library/TeX/texbin. What exactly did you change?

I had the same problem. I could resolve the problem by restoring to default setting using "Preferences > Command" and then the yellow buttons. See the following thread for more information.
