I have installed tinytex into RStudio, and yet when I attempt tp knit to PDF, I get the following error message:

! Package pdftex.def Error: File `file:///C:/Users/benja/Documents/R/Images/Doc 1.png' not found: using draft setting.

Error: LaTeX failed to compile Speedy-Success.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See Speedy-Success.log for more info. Execution halted

No LaTeX installation detected (LaTeX is required to create PDF output). You should install a LaTeX distribution for your platform: https://www.latex-project.org/get/

If you are not sure, you may install TinyTeX in R: tinytex::install_tinytex()

Otherwise consider MiKTeX on Windows - http://miktex.org

MacTeX on macOS - https://tug.org/mactex/ (NOTE: Download with Safari rather than Chrome strongly recommended)

Linux: Use system package manager

I have tried uninstalling tinytext and reinstalling it; no dice. I have made certain tinytext is loaded; nothing. Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank you.

What about a LaTeX installation as mentioned in the error message. Are you sure that's installed as well? – Limey Jul 12 '21 at 17:48
Limey: I had thought that LaTeX was installed as part of tinytex. Am I mistaken? Is there another installation package I can download? – Benjamin Newton Jul 12 '21 at 17:55
Try: `install.packages('tinytex')` `tinytex::install_tinytex()` – TarJae Jul 12 '21 at 19:02
