TinyTeX is a lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. You may see the Github repo (https://github.com/yihui/tinytex) and project homepage (https://yihui.org/tinytex/) for more info.
The binary packages of TinyTeX are published (monthly) to the Github Releases of this repository: https://github.com/yihui/tinytex-releases/releases Each release contains three versions of TinyTeX:
-
TinyTeX-0.*
contains theinfraonly
scheme of TeX Live, without any LaTeX packages. -
TinyTeX-1.*
contains about 60 LaTeX packages enough to compile common R Markdown documents (which was the original motivation of the TinyTeX project). -
TinyTeX.*
contains more LaTeX packages requested by the community.
The zip
packages are for Windows. The tgz
packages are for macOS. The tar.gz
packages are for Linux.
You may install TinyTeX as a Chocolatey package. First, you would need to install the Chocolatey Package Manager if it has not already been installed. Next type in the following command to install TinyTeX:
