suggests that executing this in R should fix the tikz issue:
tinytex::parse_install(
text = "! LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found."
)
The "ks" message looks like a missing R package rather than a missing
LaTeX package, so running install.packages("ks") would fix it.
So the only question is how to do these things in a Github action. I
don't know if there's a pre-made recipe for this, but this one should do it:
- name: Install tikz.tex and ks
run: |
install.packages(c('tinytex', 'ks')) # Maybe tinytex is
already there?
tinytex::parse_install(
text = "! LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found."
)
shell: Rscript {0}

Hi, Duncan et al.:
Thanks very much to Duncan for his suggestion. I did added the line
Duncan suggested in three slightly different places. That fixed the
problems with missing tex and pdflatex, but exposed two new problems:
On Windows and ubuntu (both release and devel) I now get:
LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found.
On macOS, I got a different error:
there is no package called 'ks'
I added "ks" to "suggests" in DESCRIPTON but still got "no package
called 'ks'. And I studied README in https://github.com/r-lib/actions,
and I did some other searches without figuring out how to fix
"`tikz.sty' not found."
For more details, see:

Suggestions?
Thanks,
Spencer

Hello:
What do you suggest I do to enable GitHub Action to process
"sos.Rnw"
properly?
The development version of my "sos" package passes "R CMD check" on
my Mac but fails in all four platforms under GitHub Action on
https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos
The error messages on macOS and Ubuntu release and devel all seems
the same:
* Error: processing vignette 'sos.Rnw' failed with
diagnostics:
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'sos.tex' failed. Messages: You don't have a
working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your PATH, and texi2dvi
cannot proceed without one.
The error message under Windows seemed crudely similar but
different:
* Error: processing vignette 'sos.Rnw' failed with
diagnostics:
pdflatex is not available
What do you suggest?
The virtual machines that run Github actions have lots of tools
installed, but apparently not LaTeX. So you need to figure out the
"step" to install it. I'm not currently using Rnw with Github actions,
but by looking at the README for https://github.com/r-lib/actions, I'm
pretty sure all you need is to add
- uses: r-lib/actions/setup-tinytex@v1
somewhere after
- uses: actions/checkout@master
