PDF Latex is not found
Error: LaTeX failed to compile Practice_assignment.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips.
In addition: Warning message:
In system2(..., stdout = if (use_file_stdout()) f1 else FALSE, stderr = f2) :
'"pdflatex"' not found
Execution halted
No LaTeX installation detected (LaTeX is required to create PDF output). You should install a LaTeX distribution for your platform: https://www.latex-project.org/get/
If you are not sure, you may install TinyTeX in R: tinytex::install_tinytex()
Otherwise consider MiKTeX on Windows - http://miktex.org
MacTeX on macOS - https://tug.org/mactex/
(NOTE: Download with Safari rather than Chrome _strongly_ recommended)
Linux: Use system package manager
Solutions:
Option 1: Run these commands in the R console (in this specific order!):
install.packages("tinytex", dependencies = TRUE)
library("tinytex")
install_tinytex()
Option 2: If you are using a Windows computer and option 1 didn’t work, try downloadingMikTeX. Then try knitting again.
Option 3: If you are using a Mac computer and option 1 didn’t work, try downloading MacTeX. Then try knitting again.
Option 4: If none of the above options work, knit your RMarkdown file to a Word document and then save it as a pdf.
