Loading ResistanceGA package - problem creating vignettes LatTex failed to compile - when attempting to load

Question

I attempt to load this package here devtools::install_github("wpeterman/ResistanceGA", build_vignettes = TRUE)

But it fails at the last part I do have tinytex package installed and running. Please any advice ? Thank you. Carlos

Expected it to load ResistanceGA package - but it failed

I was able to overcome this by disabling the need to write the Latex file which build the Vignetter and the package then loaded fine
