Package minted Error: minted v3+ executable is not installed, is not added to PATH, or is not permitted with restricted shell escape

Problem

I'm facing a minted issue similar to #298, but following that steps I still had the same issue.

I'm running latest overleaf-toolikt on wsl with Ubuntu on a windows 11 host.

C:\Users\User>wsl --version
Versione WSL: 2.3.24.0
Versione kernel: 5.15.153.1-2
Versione WSLg: 1.0.65
Versione MSRDC: 1.2.5620
Versione Direct3D: 1.611.1-81528511
Versione DXCore: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release
Versione di Windows: 10.0.26120.3281

Inside the Docker, I've a working version of tlmgr

gzago@GiovanniZago:~/overleaf-toolkit/bin$ docker exec sharelatex tlmgr --version
tlmgr revision 73493 (2025-01-17 23:28:29 +0100)
tlmgr using installation: /usr/local/texlive/2024
TeX Live (https://tug.org/texlive) version 2024

And same goes for minted

gzago@GiovanniZago:~/overleaf-toolkit/bin$ docker exec sharelatex tlmgr info minted

But still had the same issue, when compiling:

Package minted Error: minted v3+ executable is not installed, is not added to PATH, or is not permitted with restricted shell escape

Solution

The solution, for me, was to manullay install pip and latexminted inside the docker
docker exec sharelatex apt-get install pip -y
docker exec sharelatex pip install latexminted --break-system-packages

Doubt

Is this the right approach?

Thanks!

Start by reproducing the minted v3 compilation in the sharelatex container, checking the reported tlmgr minted installation and the latexminted commands. Determine whether the toolkit's container setup needs to provide latexminted or document the manual installation, then verify that the reported compilation succeeds without the error.
