Update: A web search for 'installing pdflatex for "R CMD" on Windows

got me past that error. Spencer
Please note these things are documented in R Installation and
Administration Manual (see Appendix D)
Thanks for documenting this. It's important to have that as part
of this thread.
I perhaps should have thought to look there, but I didn't. And
the web searches I tried didn't lead me there. Spencer

Hello, All:
What's the recommended way to get pdflatex installed on Windows
10 to run "R CMD"?
I ask, because "R CMD build bssm" under Windows 10 produced
'Warning in system2(..., stdout = FALSE, stderr = FALSE) : '"pdflatex"'
not found'.
This was after installing Rtools using the following (recommended
by
"https://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/cpp/installing-rtools-for-compiled-code-via-rcpp/";):
install.packages("installr")
library("installr")
install.Rtools()
Below please find the output in a commands window including
"sessionInfo()".
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
