How to compile a pdf in RStudio Markdown? - r

I've just installed RStudio and I want to knit a pdf document and I get this error message red:
Error: LaTeX failed to compile

If you are not sure, you may install TinyTeX in R:
tinytex::install_tinytex()
Otherwise consider MiKTeX on Windows - http://miktex.org
MacTeX on macOS - https://tug.org/mactex/ (NOTE: Download with
Safari rather than Chrome strongly recommended)
Linux: Use system package manager
I've tried installing the "knitr" package, and run this:
install.packages("knitr")
library(knitr)
tinytex::install_tinytex()
but still getting the same error.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ivan.


So you've tried this.
install.packages("knitr")
library(knitr)
tinytex::install_tinytex()
But try this instead. You need to have the tinytex package to use it's install function.
install.packages("knitr")
library(knitr)
install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()


I always run into that same problem. Try knitting it to .html, opening the .html file, and then exporting the .html file to pdf.

I don't understand what I did wrong?

After compiling, I got the following messages:
Error message
Error: LaTeX failed to compile hw_ch_1_Hussein_Jafar.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips.
Warning message
In addition: Warning message:

It seems that you don't have a Latex installation in your machine. I suppose you're running with a linux distribution, try from the terminal to install the complete texlive package to avoid potential issues related to Latex installation:
~$ sudo apt-get install texlive-full

I have tried uninstalling tinytext and reinstalling it; no dice. I have made certain tinytext is loaded; nothing. Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank you.

Error when compiling PDF using knitr

When I try to compile a PDF using knitr I get the following error:
there is no package called 'knitr' Error: object 'opts_knit' not found
Execution halted
I'm using RStudio 0.97.332 and R version 2.15.3.
What could be the problem?

It sounds like you need to install knitr. That should be fairly obvious from the error message.
install.packages("knitr")

you can:
install.packages("knitr")
or from Rstudio
Rstudio > Tools > install packages.
type knitr on the window install packages and install
In order to test if the package is installed try
library(knitr)

After installing knitr in R, do not forget to call it in a chunk somewhere before you use it.
I usually use my first chunk, right after \begin{document}, to call all libraries I use
i.e.
<<chunk0, >>=
library("knitr")
library("xtable")
...
#
Then a second chunk for knitr options.
