You may see the Github repo\n(\u003chttps://github.com/rstudio/tinytex\u003e) and project homepage\n(\u003chttps://yihui.org/tinytex/\u003e) for more info.\n\n## Releases\n\nThe pre-built binary packages of TinyTeX are published (usually monthly but also\ndaily) to the Github Releases of this repository:\n\u003chttps://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases/releases\u003e Each release contains the\nfollowing variations that bundle different numbers of LaTeX packages:\n\n-   `TinyTeX-0` contains the `infraonly` scheme of TeX Live, without any LaTeX\n    packages. This is the smallest bundle. If you install this bundle, you may\n    install any other packages via `tlmgr` (which is a utility included in this\n    variation), e.g., `tlmgr install latex-bin framed`.\n\n-   `TinyTeX-1` contains [about 100 LaTeX\n    packages](https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex/blob/main/tools/pkgs-custom.txt)\n    enough to compile common R Markdown documents (which was the original\n    motivation of the TinyTeX project).\n\n-   `TinyTeX` contains [more LaTeX\n    packages](https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex/blob/main/tools/pkgs-yihui.txt)\n    requested by the community. The list of packages may grow as time goes by,\n    and the size of this bundle will grow correspondingly.\n\n-   `TinyTeX-2` contains the `scheme-full` scheme of TeX Live, which means all\n    LaTeX packages that you could possibly install from CTAN. This is the\n    largest bundle, and only available in the [daily\n    release](https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases/releases/daily).\n\nBinaries are provided as `.xz` archives for macOS/Linux, and `.exe` self\nextracting archives for Windows.

You may use R, shell/batch\nscripts, Chocolatey, or Scoop to install it.\n\n### R\n\nYou may use the R package [**tinytex**](https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex) to\ninstall TinyTeX. By default, [the function\n`tinytex::install_tinytex()`](https://yihui.org/tinytex/#for-r-users) installs\nthe latest daily build of TinyTeX. If you want to install a specific version in\nthis repo, you may use the `version` argument, e.g.,\n\n``` r\ntinytex::install_tinytex(version = \"2020.10\")\n# use version = \"latest\" if you want to install the latest release\n```\n\nNote that `install_tinytex()` installs the bundle `TinyTeX-1` by default. If you\nwant to install other bundles, you can use the `bundle` argument, e.g.,\n\n``` r\ntinytex::install_tinytex(bundle = 'TinyTeX')\n# You can also specify the version, e.g,\n# tinytex::install_tinytex(bundle = 'TinyTeX', version = '2020.10')\n```\n\n### Shell/Batch scripts\n\nPlease see \u003chttps://yihui.org/tinytex/#installation\u003e for how to install TinyTeX\nvia a Unix Shell or Windows Batch script. They also install the latest daily\nbuild by default, and you may specify the TinyTeX version via an environment\nvariable `TINYTEX_VERSION` before running the installation script, e.g.,\n`TINYTEX_VERSION=2020.10`. You may also specify other bundles of TinyTeX via the\nenvironment variable `TINYTEX_INSTALLER`, e.g., `TINYTEX_INSTALLER=TinyTeX` (the\ndefault is `TinyTeX-1`).\n\n### Chocolatey\n\nYou may install TinyTeX as [a Chocolatey\npackage](https://chocolatey.org/packages/tinytex). First, you would need to\ninstall the [Chocolatey Package Manager](https://chocolatey.org/install) if it\nhas not already been installed. Next type in the following command to install\nTinyTeX:\n\n``` powershell\nchoco install tinytex\n```\n\nThis will install TinyTeX and make the TeX Live package manager, `tlmgr`\navailable on user PATH.\n\n``` powershell\nchoco install tinytex -params \"/AddToSystemPath\"\n```\n\nThis will install TinyTeX and make the TeX Live package manager, `tlmgr`\navailable on System PATH.\n\nTo uninstall TinyTeX, use the command:\n\n``` powershell\nchoco uninstall tinytex\n```\n\nThe Chocolatey package installs `TinyTeX-1` (see [above](#releases)).\n\n### Scoop\n\nScoop is another package manager for Windows. You need to install\n[*scoop*](https://scoop-docs.now.sh/docs/getting-started/Quick-Start.html) first\nto use it from powershell.\n\nApps for *scoop* are available through \"buckets\". For now, TinyTeX binary\npackages are not available in the default **main** or **extras** buckets that\ncomes with a new installation of *scoop*, but through the scoop bucket\n[**r-bucket**](https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket/). You need first to add this\nbucket:\n\n``` powershell\nscoop bucket add r-bucket https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket.git\n```\n\nThen type the following command to install TinyTeX:\n\n``` powershell\nscoop install tinytex\n```\n\nThis will install TinyTeX and make the TeX Live package manager, `tlmgr`\navailable on PATH. To uninstall TinyTeX, use the command:\n\n``` powershell\nscoop uninstall tinytex\n```\n\nFor more information on this scoop package, please see\n\u003chttps://github.com/cderv/r-bucket/\u003e.\n\n## License\n\nAll code in this repository and TinyTeX are licensed under GPL-2. Per [copying\nconditions of TeX Live](https://tug.org/texlive/LICENSE.TL), we (TinyTeX\nauthors) want to clarify that:\n\n-   We did not make changes to the TeX Live distribution, but basically packaged\n    up a subset of its packages and redistributed them as TinyTeX.\n\n-   We do not claim copyright on TinyTeX. Again, TinyTeX is a subset of TeX Live\n    (\u003chttps://tug.org/texlive/\u003e), and TeX Live is developed as a joint effort by\n    [all TeX user groups](https://tug.org/usergroups.html).\n\nNote that TinyTeX does not bundle the source code of LaTeX packages (to keep the\nsize small). If you do want to obtain the source, you may find them [on\nCTAN](https://ctan.org). Alternatively, you can reinstall a package with the\ncommand `tlmgr install --reinstall --with-src \u003cPKG\u003e` to obtain the source.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frstudio%2Ftinytex-releases","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frstudio%2Ftinytex-releases","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frstudio%2Ftinytex-releases/lists"}
