Can't Knit a PDF in Rmardown

R Markdown
#1

! Sorry, but C:\Users\jeros\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\pdflatex.exe did not succeed.

! The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

! C:\Users\jeros\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\miktex\log\pdflatex.log

! pdflatex: major issue: So far, you have not checked for MiKTeX updates.

Error: LaTeX failed to compile Ex_1.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See Ex_1.log for more info.

Hi,

It would help to have more information. Currently, we can't advise much from what it is said.

! The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:
! C:\Users\jeros\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\miktex\log\pdflatex.log

You should look into the log file.

! pdflatex: major issue: So far, you have not checked for MiKTeX updates.

It seems you may need an update.

See Ex_1.log for more info.

This log can also help.

If you are not bound to MikTex, you could also switch to TinyTex, a lightweight TexLive distrib that works well with Rmarkdown. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/

tinytex is the easiest way to get started knitting to PDF, unless you have a specific need which necessitates a full LaTeX install, you will generally have far fewer headaches.
