As of Ghostscript 10.01.0, this will no longer work due to the introduction of a new PDF interpreter.
Therefore, an alternative conversion module based on https://mupdf.com/docs/mutool.html[mutool]
has been introduced. It's automatically invoked if Ghostscript can't be used and if a working
+mutool+ executable is present in a directory which is part of the system's search path.
Therefore, an alternative conversion module based on _mutool_, a utility which is part of the
[MuPDF](https://mupdf.com) package, has been introduced. It's automatically invoked if Ghostscript
can't be used and if a working +mutool+ executable is present in a directory which is part of the
system's search path.

Alternatively, environment variable +DVISVGM_PDF_PROC+ can be used to select the PDF processor.
The currently supported values are +gs+ and +mutool+.
