This is a continuation of the question asked by Giacomo Marchioro in What are the steps for compiling Overleaf projects offline and getting consistent results?

Indeed I have an Overleaf project which I want to compile offline. My project contains no errors in Overleaf. In the project files, I've got output.tex file as my main document, latexmkrc file (copy/paste from https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/How_does_Overleaf_compile_my_project%3F) and the different.tex files and images that form my project are located in folders.

I installed TexLive 2018 from: https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html However, compiler latexmk -pdf does not appear.

I tried in TexStudio and it does not compile either. It does not find tables or documents which are placed inside two folders as for instance: Figures\Introduction\Figure_1.PNG

I need to send my project to the jury and I am a bit desperate! I would greatly appreciate any help telling me how to do it or what I am missing in my code, compiler, installation... to make it work!

    With the information you've given it will be very hard to help you I think. When you say "compiler latexmk doesn't appear" what do you mean? If you open an command line window and type latexmk --help what happens? Can you create a minimal document that shows the problem you're having with including files. The example you give is a graphics file so I'm assuming you're using \includegraphics to include it. But you also mention other files like "table or documents". How are you including these into your file? – Alan Munn Mar 05 '20 at 19:14

    you have not shown any input nor shown what errors you got in the log, so how can anyone tell you what to change? – David Carlisle Mar 05 '20 at 19:48
  • Sorry. The document is very long and it would be hard to post all the configuration I have in it. Thank you very much in any case! – Aurea 1994 Mar 06 '20 at 09:06

I just discovered the way to compile an Overleaf project with no problems, so I will answer to my own question in case someone can take advantage of it.

With a Mac and TexShop, using the compiler pdflatexmk works fine for the compilation. References, index and everything compiles perfectly :) Of course, making sure your project contains the latexmkrc file mentionned in the question above and no errors.
