Failed to compile tex in r markdown

As mentioned in the comments, you need tinytex::install_tinytex() to actually install the TinyTeX distribution.

I wanna make use of an R markdown and I get this message when I run
bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd", "bookdown::pdf_book"):"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc" +RTS -K512m -RTS Documentation.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output Documentation.tex --table-of-contents --toc-depth 2 --template "C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-35~1.3\library\RMARKD~1\rmd\latex\DEFAUL~3.TEX" --number-sections --highlight-style tango --pdf-engine pdflatex --variable graphics=yes --wrap preserve --variable "compact-title:yes" --variable tables=yes --standalone Error: Failed to compile Documentation.tex. See https://yihui.name/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. In addition: Warning message: In system2(..., stdout = if (use_file_stdout()) f1 else FALSE, stderr = f2) : '"pdflatex"' not found Please delete Documentation.md after you finish debugging the error.I guess it's because it is not possible to install Miktex and I don't know why. Even if I run as administrator, if I choose the option to install only for me, as soon as the installation finishes, I get this error message
Administrator mode cannot be enabled (makes no sense) because this is not a shared MiKTeX setup.If I choose to install for all users, it cannot finish the installation and I get this error :
