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?

    you have not shown any input nor shown what errors you got in the log, so how can anyone tell you what to change?

  • 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!

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.
