I use RStudio and started writing Rmarkdown documents to knit them into HTML pages and PDFs.



I tried installing TexLive but it failed when the astounding number of packages filled my limited remaining storage space (several GB).



I was wondering if anyone knew of a fairly straightforward way to get a minimal LaTeX install that includes the main packages needed to knit PDFs without errors on a Debian-based system?



I currently use Ubuntu 14.04, with RStudio 1.1.383, R 3.4.4, rmarkdown 1.9 and knitr 1.19.

          Yes, I made TinyTeX exactly for that purpose: https://yihui.name/tinytex/ It is minimal and should work well for converting R Markdown to PDF by default.

          I have the same problem but on an existing build used by multiple users so installing a new framework isn't an option. I've been fielding a string of emails from one user who's trying to generate markdown PDFs and they're passing me the error output one .sty file at a time while I install texlive-packages.



          Does anyone know the full list of needed texlive packages?
