In the [PDF Engines](https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/pdf-engine.html) page of the Quarto online docs it says that I can install tinytex using the command line:

```
quarto install tinytex
```

However, at least under macOS 13.1 there is no quarto executable anywhere on my hard drive. I did find a Ruby file (quarto.rb) in a homebrew cask, but it's not an executable. Looking at the tinytex docs I was hoping that simply installing it through R (e.g., `install.packages("tinytex")` would solve the problem, but it Quarto apparently doesn't see it. I'm surprised that installing a PDF engine is this hard.
