View latexmk output using texmaker's viewer

Question

I am running the following command for latexmk,

latexmk -e "$pdflatex=q/pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode/" %.tex -pvc -pdf

But I get the following error,

"I have not found a previewer that is already running. So I will start it for 'file.pdf'"

and the pdf opens in adobe reader. What is the setup required to view the pdf in texmaker's internal viewer and would it also automatically update?

Answer 1

try to set your default preview like (zathura,okular...)

• My latexmk command:

# latexmk -pdf -pvc -interaction=nonstopmode -outdir=build main.tex -f

• zathura:

#cat ~/.latexmkrc

$pdf_previewer = "zathura %O %S";

$pdf_previewer the dollar is obligatory after pdf_previewer *you need install Zathura in your PC, with extension pdf

# pacman -Syy zathura zathura-pdf-mupdf 

• okular: ....
