No TeX installation was detected.

I'm trying to use GitHub Actions to auto render and publish my blog.
I'm using the GitHub Actions file in the docs located here https://quarto.org/docs/publishing/github-pages.html#publish-action

When I commit to GitHub, I keep getting the "No TeX installation was detected" error.

After researching other discussions regarding the error, I did the following ...

I've run "quarto check" -
Checking Quarto installation......OK
Version: 1.2.269
Path: /opt/quarto/bin

I've run "quarto tools info tinytex"
{
"name": "TinyTeX",
"installed": true,
"version": "v2022.12",
"directory": "/home/deb/.TinyTeX",
"bin-directory": "/home/deb/.TinyTeX/bin/x86_64-linux",
"configuration": {
"status": "ok"
}

I've run "which tlmgr" - had to add the PATH to my .bascrc file
/home/deb/.TinyTeX/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr

I've even uninstalled TinyTex and reinstalled it, and I still get this error.

I'm also running the latest quarto in VSCode [latest quarto extension installed] on an updated Manjaro Linux machine.

Thank you.

I think there's some confusion going on. GitHub actions don't run on your computer, they run on GitHub's computers.

Could you share a link to your action and also the log of your github actions so we can track this down?

Please run 'quarto install tinytex' to install TinyTex.

Take a look at the documentation here. You need to configure your action to install tinytex: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-actions/tree/main/setup
