R: TinyTex Installation Error: `Error in xfun::download_file(..., quiet = Sys.getenv("APPVEYOR") != "") `

I've attempted installing tinytex in my system using the usual tinytex::install_tinytex(). However, it resulted to the following error:

> tinytex::install_tinytex()

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: ci.appveyor.com
Error in xfun::download_file(..., quiet = Sys.getenv("APPVEYOR") != "") : 
  No download method works (auto/wininet/wget/curl/lynx)

I can't seem to find the source of this problem. Any help?

Solution

  • Not sure why your curl couldn't connect to ci.appveyor.com, but there are alternative ways to install TinyTeX, e.g.,

    tinytex::install_tinytex(version = "latest")
