I am a complete beginner with Sagemath. I was trying to download certain file in .tex format, so I could open it with Overleaf. However, when I tried downloading Example.ipynb, I got error 500: Internal Sever Error and it told me to install Pandoc. The problem is that I previously downloaded a different file in .tex format, which I was able to open in Overleaf without installing Pandoc. This one was called Untitled.ipynb. So, why would it ask me to install Pandoc in order to download certain .tex file but not others.

I wish I could upload the screeshots I took of the terminal after I got the error and after I was able to download one file, however, I don't have enough points.

Jupyter notebooks are not .tex files.

Yes definitely, you should install pandoc on your system.

@FrédéricC I know, but there is an option to download where you download and select the format, in my particular case I want .tex. What I found weird is why it asks me to download Pandoc so I can download certain Jupyter notebook as .tex, but I was able to download a different Jupyter notebook as .tex without having Pandox installed.

@kerP : you should formally answer your own question for the benefit of future ask.sagemath.com (per-)users.
