I am getting this error when I attempt to knit any markdown file in RStudio.
Error in system(paste(shQuote(pandoc_path), "--version"), intern = TRUE) :
'CreateProcess' failed to run 'C:\PROGRA~1\RStudio\bin\pandoc\pandoc.exe --version'
Calls: ... get_pandoc_version -> with_pandoc_safe_environment -> force -> system
Execution halted
pandoc.exe is in the path shown by the error message.
I also have a stand-alone installation of pandoc and have used the following command to point to that version
Sys.setenv(RSTUDIO_PANDOC = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Pandoc")
Doing that however results in the same error except that the path
"C:\PROGRA~1\RStudio\bin\pandoc\pandoc.exe" changes to "C:\PROGRA~2\pandoc\pandoc.exe"
I am running Windows 10 and the latest versions of RStudio and R.

I am trying to knit an .rmd file to pdf. I am receiving the following error message:
Error in library(lmSupport) : there is no package called ‘lmSupport’
Execution halted
lmsupport is not in my code at all. I tried restarting R and clearing cache. Not sure what else to do.
I have the most recent version of R downloaded on my Mac
I am trying to run R script that works fine when running in Rstudio in command prompt, the reason why is that later I want to run it in Talend ETL tool.
However when I run it in command I obtain the following error:
Error in contrib.url(repos, "source") :
trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror
Calls: install.packages -> contrib.url
Execution halted
Any idea how to solve that?
Note: I tried to install the packages contrib.url or contriburl but it is not compatible with my version of R.
Thanks.
Need help. I have installed tinytex, miktex
I get this error when I knit to pdf
output file: test_knit.knit.md
Error: Failed to compile test_knit.tex. See https://yihui.name/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips.
In addition: Warning message:
In system2(..., stdout = if (use_file_stdout()) f1 else FALSE, stderr = f2) :
'"pdflatex"' not found
Execution halted
No LaTeX installation detected (LaTeX is required to create PDF output). You should install a LaTeX distribution for your platform: https://www.latex-project.org/get/
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 am trying to create fully portable environment = MiKTeX + TeXmaker + R-Portable + RStudioPortable + gnuplot...
In TeXmaker I created some User Commands:
[PdfLaTeX+shell]
pdflatex -synctex=1 -shell-escape -enable-write18 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
This works with documents containing gnuplot commands. Next objective is to create command for knitr...
[knitr]
Rscript -e "knitr::knit2pdf('%.Rnw')"
When I run it then the following Error will appear:
Process started
processing file: knitr-minimal.Rnw
output file: knitr-minimal.tex
Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'tinytex' Calls: <Anonymous> ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous> Execution halted
Process exited with error(s)
So it creates intermediate .tex file, but doesn't create pdf...
When I create and run command
Rscript -e "knitr::knit('%.Rnw')"
it produces .tex file without any errors
Process started
processing file: knitr-minimal.Rnw
output file: knitr-minimal.tex
Process exited normally
and than it is sufficient to run Quick Build (or PdfLaTeX) button and pdf is created...
Am I doing something wrong with knitr::knit2pdf command, or my whole portable LaTeX environment has some flaw?
p.s.: Package tinytex is not part of MiKTeX distribution...
Install tinytext package using install.packages("tinytex") and try again
I'm getting an error when Knit to pdf in rstudio using R markdown. It works without issue to Knit to html.
The error I'm getting is:
Output created: PA1_template.pdf
Error in tools::file_path_as_absolute(output_file) :
file 'PA1_template.pdf' does not exist
Calls: <Anonymous> -> <Anonymous>
In addition: Warning messages:
1: running command '"pdflatex" -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode "PA1_template.tex"' had status 1
2: In readLines(logfile) :

Any help on how to fix the issue would be appreciated.

Resolved the above for me, please see below:
Hi all,
I finally got markdown knitting. Here’s a github link with the solution: https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/issues/1285#issuecomment-374340175
Make sure the Miktex console settings > General > install missing packages on the fly
Install the dev version of tinytex in r studio
install.packages('rmarkdown')
devtools::install_github('yihui/tinytex')
Also, I had changed this: In R-Studio Tools > Global Options, under the Sweave tab, try changing "Weave Rnw using:"
If I get nothing else done today, this will still make it a day to remember.
