How to find file location for packages installed by tlmgr_install


I'm new to Latex and rMarkdown, so apologies if this is a very basic question. I'm having trouble finding the file location for the packages installed by tinytex::tlmgr_install. Where can I find the location of these packages?

For example, where can I find the file locations for the packages "longtable" and "rotating" installed via the code below?

library("tinytex")
tinytex::tlmgr_install("longtable")
tinytex::tlmgr_install("rotating")

My operating system is Mac OS 12.5. I have tried searching for the package names in Finder but did not hit any results. I believe these packages did install successfully because I am able to use them to reproduce examples in rmarkdown from the xtable tutorial, such as:

x <- matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol = 10)
x.big <- xtable(x, caption = "My Table")
print(x.big, hline.after=c(-1, 0), tabular.environment = "longtable")

Solution

  • You'll probably find them under ls ~/Library/TinyTeX/texmf-dist/.

    For example, here are my LaTeX packages:

    % ls ~/Library/TinyTeX/texmf-dist/tex/latex
