2 Installing Bookdown

The bookdown package is a separate set of functions and scripts that can be installed from CRAN or Github. It can be installed directly from Rstudio by either giving the following command from the console window:

install.packages("bookdown")

or, more simply, by finding the Packages tab, clicking “Install” and typing “bookdown” in the packages slot.

With bookdown installed, a set of html files can be produced in a rather automatic fashion for setting up a book-style web site.
