hi tried the first reply of yihui

Sorry, but I don't understand. What exactly did you try? Which reply were you talking about?

[purpleglittr]

hi thank you for the reply. apologies for the confusion, i'm a newbie hehe pls see below the screenshot.

[yihui]

Okay. Then run tinytex::install_tinytex() in R if you want to install TinyTeX.

Next time please provide a reference to the original thread (in this case, #24) or just reply in the original thread, otherwise I have no idea about the context, which will be very confusing. Thanks!

[purpleglittr]

thank you for the help,i will remember that from now on. to continue, regarding case #24, i to run it in R and RStudio. pls see photos of result. thank you!

[yihui]

What's your Sys.info()? Sounds like you have an old Macintosh.

[purpleglittr]

hi, on my startup disk Macintosh HD. How do i move forward from here? thank you

[yihui]

How do i move forward from here?

Please provide Sys.info() (run it in R) as I mentioned above. Thanks!

[purpleglittr]

hi, pls see photo below after running the code in R. thank you!

[yihui]

Your system is too old. If you can't upgrade your OS, please run

remotes::install_github('yihui/tinytex')

in R, restart R, and run

options(tinytex.source.install = TRUE)
tinytex::install_tinytex()

[purpleglittr]

hi regarding terminal code #301, an error occurred. hoping for your help. thank you!

[purpleglittr]

hi for terminal code #301, i already updated my OS to the latest version. how do i move forward from here? thank you again!

[yihui]

If you have updated your OS, all you need to do would be tinytex::install_tinytex() in R.

Regarding the error you encountered above about remotes, you need install.packages('remotes') (now you don't have to do that since you have updated your OS).

[purpleglittr]

thank you. pls see photo below of result.

[yihui]

What do you want me to see? I see a progress bar that doesn't seem to have finished yet. I also see two messages that I don't quite understand. So did the installation succeed or not?

[purpleglittr]

apologies i think the full page has not loaded yet on that photo. pls see the attached updated photo. pls check if running the code was successful on my end. thanks for the patience btw, it's my first time to use such program.

[yihui]

The download failed. You can download the installer with your web browser: https://yihui.org/tinytex/TinyTeX-1.tgz Then install it with

tinytex:::install_prebuilt('~/Downloads/TinyTeX-1.tgz')

If it is not downloaded to ~/Downloads, please adjust the path in install_prebuilt() accordingly.

[purpleglittr]

hi i downloaded tinytex and it appeared on "my downloads". then i ran the code on R. pls see photos. thank you!

[purpleglittr]

photo from R:

[yihui]

What does tinytex::tinytex_root() return?

[purpleglittr]

hi i tried that code above and this is the result. pls see photo. thank you!

[yihui]

I think you've installed TinyTeX successfully. Any other problems?

[purpleglittr]

hi thank you so much for the help and patience! will work on the task related to it and hopefully all goes well this time. thanks again!

[purpleglittr]

hi thank you for the reply. apologies for the confusion, i'm a newbie hehe pls see below the screenshot.

Sorry, another question for clarification. Do i need to run the above code on my Terminal? thank you.

[yihui]

No, you don't.

[purpleglittr]

okay, thank you so much for all the help again!!
