Installation

To contribute to this project, be sure R and RStudio are up to date on your computer. Then, clone this repository into your local projects directory and navigate into the project root:

git clone https://github.com/startyourlab/workshops
cd workshops

Then, open the project in RStudio. When in RStudio, if xaringan is not already installed, run

remotes::install_github('yihui/xaringan')

in the R Console. Once installed, load the package via library(xaringan). To test that everything works, open the desired RMarkdown file and use the Knit button in the top left of the RStudio window.

Export to PDF

With the pagedown package and Google Chrome, the function pagedown::chrome_print() can export a PDF of the HTML created from the RMarkdown file. To install via the R Console, run

install.packages('pagedown')

then with the project root directory as the working directory, run

pagedown::chrome_print('slides.Rmd')
