Pdflatex claiming pygmentize isn't installed even though it is

I'm experiencing some problems using the minted package with pdflatex on ubuntu. When I try to compile the following minimal LaTeX code:



documentclass{article}

usepackage{minted}

begin{document}
begin{minted}{python}
#tests
print("hi")
end{minted}
end{document}


using the command pdflatex test.tex -shell-escape, the compilation is at first paused at:



(/home/fredrik/.miktex/texmfs/install/tex/latex/framed/framed.sty)
(/home/fredrik/.miktex/texmfs/install/tex/latex/float/float.sty))/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")

(/home/fredrik/.miktex/texmfs/install/tex/latex/xcolor/xcolor.sty
(/home/fredrik/.miktex/texmfs/install/tex/latex/graphics-cfg/color.cfg)
(/home/fredrik/.miktex/texmfs/install/tex/latex/graphics-def/pdftex.def))/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad for loop variable

minted@apppathifexists=


When I press enter, I get the following message:



! Package minted Error: You must have `pygmentize' installed to use this packag
e.

See the minted package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.5 begin{document}


This seems very weird, as I believe have pygmentize installed. I followed the instructions here for intalling minted and pygmentize, and if I run pygmentize -V in the terminal, I get Pygments version 2.1, (c) 2006-2015 by Georg Brandl.



Do anyone have any idea of what's going on here? Any advice on what to do/how to proceed in debugging this?

  • Can you make a document with catcode`:=13let:parinput|"kpsewhich -var-value PATH" bye and compile it with pdftex. Next compare the output with the expected value of $PATH in the shell.

  • you are using miktex I think the option might be called something different in miktex (almost all linux tex users will be using texlive)

  • others are pointing you at checking an inclusive path to python and pygmentize script you do need to check it is found by default However you may also be best served using MiKTeX console to uninstall and reinstall MiKTeX minted package (to ensure it is fully reloaded) then ensure sync formats fndb etc are refreshed for Ulrike's guidance (not just for windows) see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/108447/…
