tinytex (version 0.60)

copy_tinytex: Copy TinyTeX to another location and use it in another system

Description

The function copy_tinytex() copies the existing TinyTeX installation to another directory (e.g., a portable device like a USB stick). The function use_tinytex() adds the copy of TinyTeX in an existing folder to the PATH variable of the current system via tlmgr_path(), so that you can use utilities such as tlmgr and pdflatex, etc.

Usage

copy_tinytex(
  from = tinytex_root(),
  to = select_dir("Select Destination Directory"),
  move = FALSE
)
use_tinytex(from = select_dir("Select TinyTeX Directory"))

Arguments

from

The root directory of the TinyTeX installation. For copy_tinytex(), the default value tinytex_root() should be a reasonable guess if you installed TinyTeX via install_tinytex(). For use_tinytex(), if from is not provided, a dialog for choosing the directory interactively will pop up.

to

The destination directory where you want to make a copy of TinyTeX. Like from in use_tinytex(), a dialog will pop up if to is not provided in copy_tinytex().

move

Whether to use the new copy and delete the original copy of TinyTeX after copying it.
