Instructions on using TinyTeX about oxforddown HOT 6 CLOSED

Perfect! You are welcome! I'd like to also thank @bttomio for the help with rstudio/tinytex#303, which I wouldn't be able to figure out by myself.

This is fantastic, will update the readme! Thank you so much for looking into this, Yihui! 😄

Point of clarification: Why would an ordinary user explicitly run tinytex::tlmgr_install(p3) --- TinyTex will install these automatically anyway, no?

Was your point just to clarify what the additional packages are that should be installed by TinyTex upon the first build?

TinyTeX will install these automatically anyway, no?

Yes, but it will take a long time for the first-time users, because TinyTeX will try to install packages one by one only after failed compilations. I don't remember how many attempts it had to make to figure out all missing packages (I remember it took at least five minutes or perhaps ten minutes); p3 contains 41 packages, so this project may have to be recompiled for ~30 times for the first time.

Exactly.

Does this issue mean that the latex package psnfss should be added to the list of packages to install with tinytex::tlmgr_install? (it's not included in the list above)

No, I've included it in the base installation, which is how I fixed rstudio/tinytex#303.
