TeX packages for RMarkdown using minimal BasicTeX
Raw
minimal-TeX-for-Rstudio.md

Date: July 1, 2016

I use TeX only to create PDFs in RMarkdown (using RStudio). After clean install, I wanted to save some space and include only the essential TeX packages. I chose BasicTeX 2016 (slim version of MacTeX). I created a new .Rmd document and installed following packages until it compiled successfully.

I installed the packages using TeX Live Utility, maybe it installed also some additional dependencies.

Required packages

  • framed
  • titling

System

  • OSX 10.11.5
  • RStudio 0.99.902
  • BasicTeX 2016 (MacTeX slim version)
