[Solved] Latex Glossaries Not Working

Hello,

I am trying to use Latex to generate some Glossaries however the glossaries is not displayed.

Packages installed:

texlive-core 2020.57066-1

Latex Document from Overleaf:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{latex}
{
    name=latex,
    description={Is a mark up language specially suited 
    for scientific documents}
}

\newglossaryentry{maths}
{
    name=mathematics,
    description={Mathematics is what mathematicians do}
}

\title{How to create a glossary}
\author{ }
\date{ }

\begin{document}
\maketitle

The \Gls{latex} typesetting markup language is specially suitable 
for documents that include \gls{maths}. 

\clearpage

\printglossaries

\end{document}

Compiler Output:

pdflatex test.tex

Re: [Solved] Latex Glossaries Not Working

you need to generate the glossary file in a separate step.

pdflatex test.tex; makeglossaries test; pdflatex test.tex
