You can follow the installation instructions on the Pandoc homepage ( ) to install Pandoc, but if you use the RStudio IDE, you do not really need to install Pandoc separately, because RStudio includes a copy of Pandoc. However, Pandoc is not an R package, so it will not be automatically installed when you install bookdown. You do not need to install knitr or rmarkdown separately, because they are the required packages of bookdown and will be automatically installed when you install bookdown. This process is automated by the rmarkdown package.

R packages are also often constantly updated on CRAN or GitHub, so you may want to update them once in a while: update.packages( ask = FALSE)Īlthough it is not required, the RStudio IDE can make a lot of things much easier when you work on R-related projects. If you want to test the development version of bookdown on GitHub, you need to install devtools first: if ( ! requireNamespace( 'devtools')) install.packages( 'devtools') devtools :: install_github( 'rstudio/bookdown') You can also choose to install all optional packages as well, if you do not care too much about whether these packages will actually be used to compile your book (such as htmlwidgets): install.packages( "bookdown", dependencies = TRUE) To install the bookdown package, you can type this in R: install.packages( "bookdown") Please note that there will be a few new releases of R every year, and you may want to upgrade R occasionally.
R can be downloaded and installed from any CRAN (the Comprehensive R Archive Network) mirrors, e.g.
