If not, then visit: https://tug.org/mactex/ MacTex 2014 is the current version. There are also some Yosemite specific notes here: http://www.tug.org/mactex/yosemite.html The package should modify your $PATH upon installation, so that it includes: /usr/texbin and Sys.which(pdflatex) in the R console run from the OS X terminal should return: Sys.which(pdflatex) pdflatex /usr/texbin/pdflatex I would check: $PATH and: which pdflatex from the OS X terminal (not in an R session), just to be sure that you don't get different results there, as compared to what you are getting in R. In theory, the OS X terminal should provide the definitive response, whereas running some applications/GUI's, may not pick up (inherit) the system path. You can also check: ls /usr/texbin which contains links to the actual installation in: ls /usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-darwin to see if MacTex 2014 has been installed (it should show a large number of files and links, including pdflatex). If you have a prior version, then the path would be: ls /usr/local/texlive//...
