I tried to install TinyTeX on windows10 without success.

I don't think it is a proxy issue as regular packages are installed. I installed wget following those recommendations. Wget works with powershell but not cmd.

I'm using Rstudio 1.1.463 and R 3.5.1

It is a brand new computer, no previous LaTeX installation. It is bothersome as I'm a big fan of TinyTeX and add no problems installing it on Ubuntu at home.

I restarted Rstudio and the command is_tinytex() returns false.

This the output of the installation commands:

> library(tinytex)

> tinytex::install_tinytex()

Please restart your R session and IDE (if you are using one, such as RStudio or Emacs) and check if tinytex:::is_tinytex() is TRUE.
