does org mode require a separate LaTeX installation to export?

Hello. I'm giving a presentation about information management for large distributed teams during a crisis, using org mode and git. It has been decades since I have NOT had LaTeX on my machine, and it preceded emacs for me, so I can't recall whether org mode needs LaTeX to export or not. In other
