When I try to convert a file to pdf format with pandoc I receive this message:

Error producing PDF.
! LaTeX Error: File `xcolor.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)


Enter file name: 
! Emergency stop.
<read *>


l.36 \IfFileExists

Does anyone know how to acquire the xcolor.sty file or some other way of fixing this? I'm using Linux.

The workaround I wound up having to use (so far) was to install the package weasyprint and use the argument --pdf-engine=weasyprint. Nothing else seemed to work.

Installing these:

sudo apt install texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-latex-extra

Fixed the issue for me.
