Dear developer,

I'm running MacOS High Sierra. When using the tinytex::install_tinytex() command I got the following error:
screen shot 2018-04-30 at 6 13 29 pm

add_link_dir_dir: destination /usr/local/bin not writable, no links from /Users/Arnon/Library/TinyTeX/bin/x86_64-darwin.
tlmgr: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.
add of symlinks had 1 error(s), see messages above.
Error: Failed to install TinyTeX

Can you please explain how to work around it?

Thank you!
