I am getting errors while exporting the notebook as a pdf, Am using RHEL-7.9 and running jupyter lab with python 3.6, and following the documentation to install dependencies.

I tried almost everything but did not find the solution.

Error:

nbconvert failed: PDF creating failed, captured latex output: Failed to run "['xelatex', 'notebook.tex', '-quiet']" command: This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999.3 (TeX Live 2013) restricted \write18 enabled.

pathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt

I can't find the format file `xelatex.fmt'!
