I get this error when I try to create the PDF. I guess I'm missing some kind of Latex extension or something but I could not find what I needed to install with a quick ddg search.
Both texlive-biin and texlive-core are installed on my manjaro setup if that helps any.

You need the additional package footnotebackref (and possibly some more). Install missing packages with tlmgr install <package>.

Texlive

Eisvogel requires a full texlive distribution that can be installed by running apt-get install texlive-full in the terminal. Because texlive-full is very large (about 5 Gigabytes) you can also install the smaller texlive bundles and add any missing packages manually.

You need to install texlive-latex-extra. With texlive-latex-extra you also need to install these packages manually:

adjustbox babel-german background bidi collectbox csquotes everypage filehook footmisc 
footnotebackref framed fvextra letltxmacro ly1 mdframed mweights needspace pagecolor 
sourcecodepro sourcesanspro titling ucharcat ulem unicode-math upquote xecjk xurl zref

Install them with

tlmgr install adjustbox babel-german background bidi collectbox csquotes everypage filehook footmisc footnotebackref framed fvextra letltxmacro ly1 mdframed mweights needspace pagecolor sourcecodepro sourcesanspro titling ucharcat ulem unicode-math upquote xecjk xurl zref

Additional information about the different texlive packages can be found at this TeX-StackExchange answer: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/504566

A Note on MiKTeX

If you don't want to install all missing packages manually, MiKTeX might be an alternative.

MiKTeX has the ability to automatically install missing packages.
You can turn this feature on or off. And you can let MiKTeX ask you each time a package has to be installed:

  • Click Settings to navigate to the settings page.
  • Click the General tab.
  • Click one of the radio buttons:
    • Ask me
    • Always install missing packages on-the-fly
    • Never install missing packages on-the-fly

I also ran into this, I wonder if a message on the README would help folks like us?

I installed Pandoc and a LaTex compiler via brew, do you have any instructions for MacOS users? The above assumes a Linux distro.

In MacOS I fixed the issue with footnotebackref installing mactex:
$ brew remove basictex
$ brew cask install mactex

@Wandmalfarbe, I got this error while using this command, what should I do :

[sudo] password for parth:           
(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
(see /usr/share/doc/texlive-base/README.tlmgr-on-Debian.md)

tlmgr: Local TeX Live (2021) is older than remote repository (2024).
Cross release updates are only supported with
  update-tlmgr-latest(.sh/.exe) --update
See https://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html for details.

@Parth-Sharma-tonchi I had the same problem while updating or installing packages using tlmgr. So I did this,

sudo /usr/local/texlive/2024/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr install <package_name>

instead of

sudo tlmgr install <package_name>
