To confirm the directory doesn’t exist, try navigating to it in the terminal (cd /.pandoc) and then listing the contents (ls). If you can’t find the.pandoc directory you can skip this whole step, and modify the code at the end to point to some other directory which you know exists. As long as you point pandoc to the csl file,.bib file and reference docx you should be fine. In fact, this is probably easier than having to move things in and out of hidden directories I hope that is helpful! Hi Taya, thank you so much for this extremely clear explanation — I had been trying to follow Dave Smith’s instructions with zero success until I found your page!! I had the same problem as BG though. Stupidly I didn’t read down the comments until just now however I posted an item on the Pandoc discussion board yesterday (and got some very helpful responses, I highly recommend it for troubleshooting problems).

John MacFarlane, the developer of Pandoc responded that you have to create the /.pandoc directory yourself, stating “As a matter of principle, pandoc never creates any file on your file system (except perhaps a temp file which it will delete later) unless you ask it to.” So you just go to your home directory (the base folder of your username), create a new folder and name it.pandoc.
