I want to learn the LaTeX language to study chemistry with chemfig package and make Anki flashcards. The problem is that I am unable to make it work with Anki (normal LaTeX works fine)

I tried these kinds of tutorials but somes instructions dont work :

How to get Anki working with TikZ-based packages?

or

http://pastebin.com/raw/mJj7gTQ7

the problem is the same mentionned in the first tutorial, and if I activate the option "create adjustable images with dvisgvm"

I get that error message :

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

  • Welcome. // Here was a similar question, for which I proposed a bypass solution: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/713122/245790 . Anki seems to be troublesome to set up with Latex, while said solution works right away (Tikz image, pdf, convert to bitmap, include in Anki - fast to do, lengthy to write) – MS-SPO Mar 17 '24 at 18:28

    as shown in the error you show you need pdflatex -shell-escape but your log shows you did not do that: restricted \write18 enabled – David Carlisle Mar 17 '24 at 19:59
  • Okay, but how can I activate -shell-escape ? – Fancôme Mar 19 '24 at 15:36
