 Each vignette is in Sweave format (`.Rnw`) . To run these, you need to have both `netDx` and `netDx.examples` installed. You will also need to install the R package `knitr` to compile the Sweave file.  If you have [Rstudio](https://www.rstudio.com/home/) installed (highly recommended), you should be able to open the `Rnw` file and click `Compile PDF`. Alternately, you may run the vignette through an interactive R session:
 
 ```
-$ cd netDx/examples/
+$ cd netDx-master/examples/
 $ R
 > require(knitr)
 > knit2pdf("Medulloblastoma.Rnw")

 #### (OS/X): "`pdfLaTex` not found" error
 When compiling the pdf, you may get a message saying that `pdfLaTex` is not installed. We have had one such report on OS/X and it is known to occur after an upgrade to OS X Mavericks. The following steps resolved the issue (paraphrased from [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22081991/rmarkdown-pandoc-pdflatex-not-found)):
