compiling @hadley books

adv-r.md

In the shell:

git clone https://github.com/hadley/adv-r.git
gem install jekyll mime-types

In R:

install.packages(c("rcpp", "rjsonio", "knitr", "ggplot2", "png", "lubridate", "yaml", "microbenchmark", "dplyr", "plyr", "stringr", "memoise", "inline", "fastmatch"))
devtools::install_github(c("hadley/pryr", "hadley/lineprof", "yihui/knitr", "rstudio/rmarkdown", "hadley/bookdown"))

Now back in the shell:

cd adv-r
jekyll build

This should have created a directory _site. You can now create an ebook using Calibre by adding the _site/index.html file (calibre should automatically follow all the links to the other pages in the directory) and converting it to Epub.

r-pkgs.md

In the shell:

git clone https://github.com/hadley/r-pkgs.git
gem install jekyll mime-types

In R:

devtools::install_github(c("hadley/bookdown", "rstudio/rmarkdown", "hadley/bookdown", "ropensci/testdat"))
install.packages(c("rjsonio", "knitr", "png", "testthat", "nycflights13", "stringi", "lubridate", "pryr", "microbenchmark", "roxygen2"))

Now back in the shell:

cd r-pkgs
jekyll build

This should have created a directory _site. You can now create an ebook using Calibre by adding the _site/index.html file (calibre should automatically follow all the links to the other pages in the directory) and converting it to Epub.

Hi!

I have found your guidance on how to build the files, however the adv-r building process terminates because of an error (I haven't tried the other one). I do not have any experience with ruby/pandoc/jekyll unfortunately. Can you point out how to resolve the situation?

Thanks in advance.
