Hello, I've been trying to compile a pdf from RStudio in an R Sweave file using TinyTeX for weeks now without success. I prefer using RStudio to Overleaf, and previously had success compiling pdfs with TinyTeX, along with biber and biblatex. Here is a link to my previous post on StackExchange, which has not garnered responses that have helped solve the issue.

I'm currently running version 0.35 of tinytex. When I run:

Sys.which("pdflatex")

I get:
pdflatex
"/Users/stevenkoller/Library/TinyTeX/bin/universal-darwin/pdflatex"

In Terminal, when I run:
echo $PATH

I get:
/Users/stevenkoller/Library/TinyTeX/bin/universal-darwin:/Users/stevenkoller/Library/TinyTeX/bin/universal-darwin

I'm able to successfully create a pdf using "latex" and "pdflatex" commands in Terminal, as the "Compile PDF" button in RStudio is able to create a compileable .tex file from the .Rnw file. However, whenever I try to "Compile PDF" within RStudio, I receive the error message in the issue title above. At a bit of a loss here, nearing the point of switching to Overleaf or a different distro. Any insight you can provide would be most appreciated!

Let's continue the conversation on Stack Overflow.

I'm surprised that your PATH variable contains /Users/stevenkoller/Library/TinyTeX/bin/universal-darwin. It seems you have modified the PATH variable manually somewhere (e.g., in .zshrc or .bashrc). You don't need to do that.
