here's hoping I'm not missing something very obvious...
I'm trying to install TinyTex on my corporate PC (Windows 10 Enterprise). I have a normal user account and an admin account and I need to install TinyTex for both.
I successfully installed RStudio and installed the package tinytex. Now I'm trying to install TinyTex using this command in RStudio (running in admin mode).
I changed the root folder because otherwise it installs in C:\users\admin account\appdata.
This installation works fine as long as I use RStudio in admin mode but as soon as I switch to the normal user account it says TinyTex isn't installed.
I suppose you installed using admin ? What path did you put into your PATH ? Is tlgmr findable by a user ?
It should be a matter of readable folder by everyone, and then tlmgr being on PATH so it is found in R.
Check what has been put in your PATH.
Otherwise, you can set tinytex.tlmgr.path R option to where the bin folder is. THis should make R tinytex found the executables.
Otherwise, if you are open to other installation methods you can install TinyTeX for Windows using
Thanks for your reply! I wasn't aware that the environment variable had to be called "PATH". I thought the name was arbitrary...
I changed the variable name to PATH now and set it to the bin folder. Works like a charm now. Cheers!
Pay attention not to modify the current PATH. You need to add to the existing PATH variable. Otherwise, you will replace by only TinyTeX PATH and then other things won't work. Check PATH environment variable in terminal - it must be a long string with several paths.
