(SOLVED) Help on python packages that require latex/ffmpeg on command-line

I’m trying to set up my endless OS to work with a python library for education animation (https://github.com/3b1b/manim) and it requires some commands from the terminal to run, the commands in question are ffmpeg and latex, I manage to fix ffmpeg by downloading a static binary from this post(Downloading softwares) and changing PATH to include it.
I didn’t manage to find any solution to the latex problem though, I really want that package to work for my presentations and I don’t think there’s a good alternative out there.
Thanks.

Use Podman to run LaTeX - there’s a small tutorial here:

https://miktex.org/howto/miktex-docker

They use Docker, but Podman is compatible on the command line level, so the tutorial applies to Podman too.

I didn’t go around to trying that, but was able to find the folder TexStudio uses latex in, setting it into the PATH variable as well solved my problem, thanks for the response anyway.
