Hi, I tried knitting my RDM file to PDF, but this is the error that I am repeatedly getting. I have also installed the tinytex and latex packages, yet seem to have no improvement.
Welcome to the forum!
Did you install LaTeX on your system? Installing the tinytex package is not enough. You also need to install the LaTeX distribution. The advantage of tinytex over a full LaTeX distribution is that is smaller, but you still need a LaTeX distribution. See the instructions on the tinytex page:
TinyTeX is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is small in size, but functions well in most cases, especially for R users. If you run into the problem of missing LaTeX packages, it …
Yes, I used the install option to install LaTex also.
Well, in that case, something went wrong according to your error message since it still asks you to run the following: tinytex::install_tinytex(). Did you run that command in the console and what was the response?
I am getting this error. It also said that the code stopped execution as latex wasnt found.
None of those are errors (don't ask me why R uses red text for certain activities!). What happens when it is done installing all 10 files?
A pop up box appears saying that luatex.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

There is currently an error with TexLive that prevent correct installation with TinyTex. the fix is ongoing and your CTAN mirror can now have it. You can also install prebuilt.

Hi Yihui,
I'm in panic. I have to submit my thesis in 3 weeks. I've been using… bookdown the last 5 months because I have zero experience using latex. I struggle the first 2 months getting to the right format of my Uni using thesisdown and other packages, but I could only make it work using bookdown. The thing is I had an issue with a floating table (I never used tables in the rest of my thesis until this final chapter) and tried to solve it as per this yihui answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44850011/how-to-stop-bookdown-tables-from-floating-to-bottom-of-the-page-in-pdf
When tried to apply kableExtra I got the "Remote repository newer than local". I followed yuhui advices and I used tinytex::reinstall_tinytex() and now tinytex is not correctly installed and not compiling the book.
When installing I got the messages in the following file:
[tinytex_install_messages.txt](https://github.com/yihui/tinytex/files/4619659/tinytex_install_messages.txt)
When trying to compile the book using build book I get this in the .log file:
! Running the command C:\Users\Ponchov\AppData\Roaming\TinyTeX\bin\win32\fmtutil-user.exe
! kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt
! The command name is C:\Users\Ponchov\AppData\Roaming\TinyTeX\bin\win32\mktexfmt
changing to verbose output I get this, but don't know what they mean:
Running the command C:\Users\Ponchov\AppData\Roaming\TinyTeX\bin\win32\fmtutil-user.exe
I can't find the format file `xelatex.fmt'!
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt
The command name is C:\Users\Ponchov\AppData\Roaming\TinyTeX\bin\win32\mktexfmt
I was unable to find any missing LaTeX packages from the error log Tesis.log.
! Running the command C:\Users\Ponchov\AppData\Roaming\TinyTeX\bin\win32\fmtutil-user.exe
! kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt

Aditionally I'm getting this message oftenly. This message is normal when installing tinytex, but now it shows up every time I hit build book:
Please help, I´m so closed to finish my thesis and I don´t think I´m able to rewrite it at this point.
Thanks,
Alfonso

`tinytex:::install_prebuilt()ˋ should work. Note the three colons as this is an advanced not exported function.
This is the error that I am getting. Kindly guide.
Sometimes errors and warnings are a little confusing.
Did you check if if tinytex was installed?
Yes, I did install tinytex
And it is working now? Then problem solved (for the moment)?
Yes it did! Thank you so much!
