Fail to set up tinytex

[wlangera]

Correct installation and set up of TinyTeX did not work for me according to the instructions in the slides. Similar problems were reported on the GitHub page of TinyTeX (Fail to install Caption package in Rstudio (Windows 10) #257).

A solution is provided here. You can temporarily change the PATH-variable (add ;C:\Windows\system32):

# change PATH variable
old_path <- Sys.getenv("PATH")
Sys.setenv(PATH = paste0(old_path, ";C:\\Windows\\system32"))

# install tinytex
install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex() 

# setup for tinytex
tinytex::tlmgr_install(c(
    'inconsolata', 'times', 'tex', 'helvetic', 'dvips'
))
tinytex::tlmgr_conf(
    c("auxtrees", "add", system.file("local_tex", package = "INBOmd"))
)
tinytex::tlmgr_install(c("hyphen-dutch", "hyphen-french"))
