Research direction
The issue asks whether the copy tinytex and use tinytex functions can be used without installing R. This likely requires examining the TinyTeX package code to see if these functions have R specific dependencies. If they are wrappers around shell commands, it may be possible to extract them. Check the source code in the R directory, and look for any existing discussions or documentation about standalone usage.
