Atom.io package pandoc convert requires pdflatex for converting to pdf

It’s a bit hard to copy the error messages that only last a second or so, but I finally managed to:

[pandoc-convert]
Command failed: /usr/local/bin/pandoc --standalone --to=latex --output=/Users/jeroenp/20170204.rst.pdf /Users/jeroenp/20170204.rst pandoc: pdflatex not found. pdflatex is needed for pdf output.
In order to have pdflatex on my Mac OS X installation, I had to do this:
brew install Caskroom/cask/mactex
This will install pdflatex as
/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex
