The function install_tinytex() downloads the installation script from
https://github.com/yihui/tinytex according to the platform (Unix or
Windows), and executes it to install TinyTeX (a custom LaTeX distribution
based on TeX Live). The function uninstall_tinytex() removes TinyTeX;
reinstall_tinytex() reinstalls TinyTeX as well as previously installed
LaTeX packages by default; tinytex_root() returns the root directory
of TinyTeX.
install_tinytex(
force = FALSE,
dir = "auto",
repository = "ctan",
extra_packages = NULL
)uninstall_tinytex(force = FALSE, dir = tinytex_root())
reinstall_tinytex(packages = TRUE, dir = tinytex_root(), ...)
tinytex_root()
Whether to force to install (override) or uninstall TinyTeX.
The directory to install or uninstall TinyTeX (should not exist
unless force = TRUE).
The CTAN repository to be used. By default, a fast mirror
is automatically chosen. You can manually set one if the automatic mirror
is not really fast enough, e.g., if you are in China, you may consider
'http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/CTAN/', or if you are in the
midwest in the US, you may use
'https://mirror.las.iastate.edu/tex-archive/'. You can find the full
list of mirrors at https://ctan.org/mirrors.
A character vector of extra LaTeX packages to be installed.
Whether to reinstall all currently installed packages.
Other arguments to be passed to install_tinytex() (note
that the extra_packages argument will be set to tl_pkgs() if
packages = TRUE).
See the TinyTeX documentation (https://yihui.org/tinytex/) for the default installation directories on different platforms.
