"latex not found" error on running the plot submodule code snippet in Quick Start

[raynol-dsouza]

Hello,

I am one of the reviewers for your JOSS submission https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/7013. I installed the package on a fresh conda environment, following your instructions here. When running the code snippet for the plot submodule, I run into the following error:

RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found

The error could simply be due to setting "text.usetex": True on line 98 of src/mdcraft/plot/rcparams.py while not including any latex-rendering dependency in the conda recipe. Could you please look into this?

Thank you!

Hi! I've went ahead and made the text.usetex parameter use True only when LaTeX is found in commit 4b333c1. This should hopefully resolve the issue.
