I have been having a ton of trouble for awhile now attempting to make PDF docs from Rmarkdown in Rstudio. My goal is to create the "Journal of Statistical Software" format and when I run the example script provided, I get an error.
Script:
--- author: - name: FirstName LastName affiliation: University/Company address: > First line Second line email: [email protected] url: http://rstudio.com - name: Second Author affiliation: Affiliation title: formatted: "A Capitalized Title: Something about a Package \\pkg{foo}" # If you use tex in the formatted title, also supply version without plain: "A Capitalized Title: Something about a Package foo" # For running headers, if needed short: "\\pkg{foo}: A Capitalized Title" abstract: > The abstract of the article. keywords: # at least one keyword must be supplied formatted: [keywords, not capitalized, "\\proglang{Java}"] plain: [keywords, not capitalized, Java] preamble: > \usepackage{amsmath} output: rticles::jss_article --- # Introduction This template demonstrates some of the basic latex you'll need to know to create a JSS article. ## Code formatting Don't use markdown, instead use the more precise latex commands: * \proglang{Java} * \pkg{plyr} * \code{print("abc")} # R code Can be inserted in regular R markdown blocks. ```{r} x <- 1:10 x ``` When doing this my error is:
pandoc.exe: pdflatex not found. pdflatex is needed for pdf output. Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 41 In addition: Warning message: running command '"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS Untitled.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output Untitled.pdf --template "C:\Users\OPTIMA~1\DOCUME~1\R\WIN-LI~1\3.3\rticles\RMARKD~1\TEMPLA~1\JSS_AR~1\RESOUR~1\template.tex" --highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex' had status 41 Execution halted I know it has to do with download MikTex but I haven't been able to find an easy step-by-step way of downloading this in order to run PDF docs in RMarkdown from RStudio.
Any help would be great and if you know any ways of doing this directly from R instead of downloading something from the web then that would be the easiest solution I would think.
Thanks!
