`quarto install tool` fails to make connection


I am trying to install a couple different PDF engines to find one that works best with one of the table libraries I'm using in a quarto book.

When I run quarto install tool from a Powershell session in the project root directory I return the following message:

[>] Inspecting tools
ERROR: TypeError: error sending request for url (https://api.github.com/repos/rstudio/tinytex-releases/releases/latest): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (os error 10060)

I have the correct proxies for my organization (http_proxy, https_proxy) defined as OS environment variables and in the project .Renviron file.

Thanks for your help!


Solution

  • Turns out my proxy needed to be reconfigured to access the URLs being called to install software. The issue is resolved.
