We are working on deploying an application to Connect that uses TinyTeX. Specifically, the application startup contains the code tinytex::install_tinytex(bundle = "TinyTeX"). This causes the app to download a TinyTeX bundle every time it starts up and we have seen transient failures when this doesn't work.
Is there a way to specify the TinyTeX environment at the Connect level or best practices for managing this?
the R package tinytex will make use of any TeX installation on the system. So it is enough to install some TeX installations once in such a way that all RunAs users on Connect have it in their PATH. You could use TinyTeX for that, c.f. 5. in Frequently (?) Asked Questions - Yihui Xie | 谢益辉, or just install standard TeX Live. One of th emajor points for TinyTeX is its ability to install missing TeX packages. i am not convinced that this is super useful on a Connect server, so I am typically installing a recent TeX Live there.
