Windows/macOS/Linux binaries and installation methods of TinyTeX
PowerShell
TinyTeX is a lightweight, cross-platform LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live, designed to be portable and easy to maintain. It was originally created to compile R Markdown documents but works for general LaTeX typesetting needs.
The distribution comes in four bundle sizes ranging from minimal (under 1 MB) to full (over 1 GB), letting you install only what you need and add packages later using the included tlmgr utility. It’s available as pre-built binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with monthly and daily releases. The project solves the problem of bloated LaTeX installations by providing a minimal working system that can grow as needed.
