Use TinyTeX for LaTeX libraries #60

Closed cboettig closed 6 years ago

cboettig commented 6 years ago

This uses TinyTeX in place of texlive; the modular structure allows us to give users permission to install and manage tex libraries (including managing directly from R via the tinytex package) without root permissions.

This should make it easier for users to resolve problems of missing .sty files etc without resorting to a kitchen sink approach of pre-installing all such packages in this image. See discussion in #59. Big thanks to @yihui for making this possible.
