The directory /usr/local/bin is not writable.

[mromero1999]

I have tried using the compute's terminal to fix the problem but it asks for a password

[yihui]

Yes, it has to ask for password since it needs root privilege to make the change to this directory.

Is the password the same one as my computer? when I try to type it, it does not allow me to.

[yihui]

Yes, it is. If the password you typed does not allow you to make the change, it is likely to be an incorrect password. Unfortunately I can't help you with that.

This issue can be safely ignored if you are using tinytex through R.

I am using R and it says its not writable. l tried the link solution in my terminal (not R)

As I said, you can safely ignore this issue if you are using R. I can't help you type the correct password.
