Mac: Issue with sweave/knitting after upgrading

[kylejott]

Hey there,

I made the mistake up upgrading to the new Mac OSX before completing assignment 2 and ran into problems trying to use knit to pdf. I kept getting the error saying that pdflatex was not installed. Apparently, every time Apple updates it's software, some of the latex installations change their path files.

Here is the solution for Yosemite: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25090788/sweave-not-working-in-rstudio-found-path-but-how-to-set

Here is the solution for Mavericks: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22081991/rmarkdown-pandoc-pdflatex-not-found

Hope that helps, Kyle
