Error while updating tlmgr...

[fredguth]

I am getting this error:

ERROR: tlmgr returned a non zero status code
You don't have permission to change the installation in any way,
specifically, the directory /usr/local/texlive/2022/tlpkg/ is not writable.
Please run this program as administrator, or contact your local admin.
tlmgr: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.

My google searches tell me this is something related to TinyTex (not sure).

If I change permission to /usr/local/texlive/2022/tlpkg/ the error changes (now it can't find the font, although I see it in my FontBook). I am not sure I should have changed the permissions there, though. Nor do I know how to make tlmgr finds a font that is in ...Library/Fonts (mac user).

BTW, I have tex documents that use Minion Font using \usepackage{MinionPro} with no problem.

[fredguth]

Hmmm... it needs me to call it "Minion Pro" with the space.

Still, don't know if I should have changed the permissions to /usr/local/texlive/2022/tlpkg/, though. At least it is working.

What version of Quarto are you using? What's the output of quarto list tools?
v1.2 pre-release has a bunch of changes related to Tex.
See https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/pdf-engine.html#installing-tex.

By the way, with only the error, it's really hard to help. It would be really helpful if you could provide some context, such as operating system, Quarto version, LaTeX distribution, a reproducible example.

[fredguth]

I used to compile outside of Quarto, but I want to migrate everything to Quarto. So, I understand that if I go with the "no" (first) option, I will be able to eventually use the distribution I already have (I believe it is TexLive), but I will have a better Quarto experience, right?

I am inclined to the first option.

[mcanouil]

Yes.
Note that with the first option, you will use two different LaTeX distribution: one for Quarto and one for everything else.

👍

@fredguth I assumed that you solved your issue by using Quarto TinyTex? (Just checking to be sure your issue is solved since you marked this as the answer)

[fredguth]

Yes, it seems solved. My impressions:

• it seems that compiling is faster. Can it be?
• tinytex didn't accept:

            mainfontoptions: [minionint,footnotefigures, frenchmath] # <--- mainfont is Minion Pro

but this is a minor issue for me.
