For reference, the following response is from Homer Reid:
"With regard to the specific problem you are having, it seems the LaTeX
installation on your system is incomplete or incorrectly configured. The
LaTeX formatting engine is trying and failing to find a program named
'mktexlsr.pl <http://mktexlsr.pl>', which should be present as part of a
standard LaTeX installation. For example, on my system (Linux Mint 19.1,
similar to Ubuntu) this file is provided by the 'texlive-base' package
and is installed at
'/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/mktexlsr.pl
<http://mktexlsr.pl>'. One possibility is that you are simply missing
this file on your machine, and thus that your LaTeX installation is not
functional. Another possibility is that the environment variables that
configure things like library search paths are getting confused by your
conda installation---LaTeX packages are typically installed system-wide,
but conda often overrides such settings to refer instead to
environment-specific local installations."

Hello again,
Some updates: I figured out that I need some sort of latex package to
generate the plots in CrossRouter.py. I went with texlive-core which I
downloaded using the following command
conda install -c conda-forge texlive-core
The error message that I am currently receiving is:
RuntimeError: latex was not able to process the following string:
b'$0.0$'
with the following message:
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/home/hrferge/anaconda3/envs/mpa/bin/mktexfmt line 25.
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!
There is no 'latex.fmt' file to be found. Is this a file I must
generate (should be generated in run-time) or is it better to download
a different latex package?
Best regards,
Halvor
