Thanks for your help, but I still have the same problem. I have installed tinytex package and I tried to install pdflatex package, while there is a warning: package ‘pdflatex’ is not available for this version of R.

There is no package called pdflatex in R, as the warning indicates.

You must have misunderstood R packages and LaTeX distribution. In short, you have to install LaTeX, and pdflatex is a component of LaTeX. For installing LaTeX, you can run the following code in R:

tinytex::install_tinytex()

It might take seconds to minutes, depending on you internet connection status.

After the installation, check if it is successfully installed:

tinytex::is_tinytex()

If you get TRUE, you are done. If FALSE, restart R or RStudio and repeat these two steps. If still failed, maybe it is your internet problem.

Try knitting half to debug. If not work, knit half again to figure out what went wrong
