#Obsidian #Export #Debian #Pandoc #pdflatex #question

I just installed an Obsidian plugin for multiformat export (https://github.com/mokeyish/obsidian-enhancing-export) which uses pandoc.
Pandoc, in turn, needs a pdflatex engine (as a default / recommended). Now, I am struggling to find a way to install pdflatex in Debian. The search for packages brought me to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/texlive-base, which manpage mentions pdflatex, but after installation neither CLI nor Obsidian can detect such command.

Is there an easy way to get pdflatex, or should I switc to another pandoc-accepted engine, and which one?
