pdf output is missing if no latex installation is globally available #87

I noticed that vuegen does not catch if a pdf is not produced due to a missing tinytex installation required by python. quarto renders a pdf by converting the qmd file to a tex file and then using an globally installed tex program to render the pdf. But unfortunately this does not work when we install quarto-cli out of the box as one can see in the action logs. Copying from run 13654154460

Rendering PDF
running xelatex - 1

No TeX installation was detected.

Please run 'quarto install tinytex' to install TinyTex.
If you prefer, you may install TexLive or another TeX distribution.
