I got the error when trying to knitr a R markdown file to pdf on OSX:
pandoc: pdflatex not found. pdflatex is needed for pdf output. Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 41 Execution halted
No TeX installation detected (TeX is required to create PDF output). You should install a recommended TeX distribution for your platform:
Windows: MiKTeX (Complete) - http://miktex.org/2.9/setup (NOTE: Be sure to download the Complete rather than Basic installation)
Mac OS X: TexLive 2013 (Full) - http://tug.org/mactex/ (NOTE: Download with Safari rather than Chrome strongly recommended)
Following the link in the error, I downloaded mactex and installed it. However, the error persists when I tried to knitr in pdf. I can render it to html and word, as two other options available, but the pdf option gets me the error
Any insight is appreciated.
