  • The tinytex and tinytex-releases repositories have been moved from @yihui's account to @rstudio, i.e., their addresses are https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex/ and https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases/ now.

  • The full TeX Live has been pre-built as the TinyTeX-2 bundle in the daily release of TinyTeX: https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases/releases/tag/daily To know how to install it, please see https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases#installation.

  • If tinytex::install_tinytex() detects an existing LaTeX distribution in the system, it will ask if you want to continue the installation in an interactive R session. If this function is called in a non-interactive R session (e.g., via the Rscript command), it will throw an error in this case, unless the argument force = TRUE is used. This is to prevent an accidental installation of TinyTeX (which occurred on CRAN recently). Another way to prevent the installation is to set the environment variable TINYTEX_PREVENT_INSTALL=true.

  • On *nix, if the dir ~/.local/bin exists, it will be used as the bin path for TinyTeX, i.e., symlinks of TeX Live binaries will be created to this dir. If it does not exist, ~/bin/ will be used as usual (thanks, @salim-b, #365).
