This is my first time trying to use r and RStudio to generate a report. When I use RStudio and the knitr button to create the document in html format the process finishes fine, with no errors. But when I try the same to make the document .pdf the errors occur.
To create a .pdf document from a rmarkdown file I have installed rmarkdown, knitr, tinytex, I have also installed TinyTeX (from R with tinytex) and PANDOC, the error when executing tinytex :: pdflatex ('test.tex') is the following:
> tinytex::pdflatex('test.tex')

## R Markdown
This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.
When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:
```{r cars}
summary(cars)
```
## Including Plots
You can also embed plots, for example:
```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```
Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
