The easy way to run Pandoc with zero installation and zero configuration is to use the Docker image.
If you don't have Docker yet, please install it first.
rstropek/pandoc-latex uses Wandmalfarbe/Eisvogel for the PDF rendering and is supporting packages like awesomebox; see the examples/with-optional-packages samples.
Take a look to the pandoc_pdf.cmd file to see how it works.
Too easy.
