I am trying to use Rmarkdown on our department's RStudio server. I am using the tinytex package to install TinyTex, for the Rmarkdown files. It was working before, then I was trying to get a custom latex template to work and somehow managed to mess up my latex setup. I have tried a fresh install of TinyTeX through the tinytex package which doesn't help.
I get the following errors when knitting:
! kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
! mktexfmt [ERROR]: -user mode but path setup is -sys type, bailing out.
Addtional Info :
1)
cat /proc/version
yields
Linux version 4.15.0-72-generic (buildd@lcy01-amd64-026) (gcc version 7.4.0 (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04.1)) #81-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 26 12:20:02 UTC 2019
2) The following minimal example gives the same problem:
---
title: "Untitled"
output: pdf_document
---
## R Markdown
## Including Plots
5) Log file is not useful just contains only the above errorr message
Any help greatly appreciated!
