Quarto Unable to locate an installed version of R. · Issue #5761 · quarto-dev/quarto-cli · GitHub

bug description

Each time I run quarto render in RStudio, I always get this error that quarto is unable to find installed version of R. I have attached a screenshot below.

Here is my session info:

Please I will like to know how I can fix this?, but I can see that quarto check shows a potential problem that theme file compilation failed but I have struggled for days now and I am unable to fix this. Thank you very much all.

# Quarto

Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code into a finished document. To learn more about Quarto see https://quarto.org/.

# Running Code

When you click the Render button a document will be generated that includes both content and the output of embedded code. You can embed code like this:

```{r}
1 + 1
```

You can add options to executable code like this

```{r}
#| echo: false
2 * 2
```

The echo: false option disables the printing of code (only output is displayed).

expect behavior

I is expect expect this document to give me an html output when I run Quato render in rstudio

Actual behavior

When I render the document in RStudio it will give me an error that quarto is unable to find installed version of R
