Updating Pandoc And Converting To UTF-8

Hi guys,

I need to run pandoc. (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html)

I did this:

rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

yum install -y pandoc

This is version 1.9.4.1

They are up to 13.1.1.

How can I update to the latest? Yum doesn’t have anything more that I can see.

Also, is there a tool like ‘iconv’ on OS X where I can convert between encodings? It seems when moving this from OS X to Linux I am getting a few encoding errors when building my project.

Thoughts are appreciated.

Jason

    The page says: “If the version in your repository is too old, use the instructions below under All platforms”
    Or upgrade to CentOS 7 maybe… it seems to have 1.12.x

    iconv is/should already be installed…
    /usr/bin/iconv

  • Hi John,

    I got this figured out finally! The answer was to get the binaries for Haskell Platform, get the canal-install source and compile that, set a path variable to these directories. Works.

    Thank You. Jason
