7.1 Get started

You can install either the CRAN version or the development version on GitHub (https://github.com/yihui/xaringan):

# install from CRAN
install.packages('xaringan')

# or GitHub
devtools::install_github('yihui/xaringan')

If you use RStudio, it is easy to get started from the menu File -> New File -> R Markdown -> From Template -> Ninja Presentation, and you will see an R Markdown example in the editor. Press the Knit button to compile it, or use the RStudio addin Infinite Moon Reader to live preview the slides: every time you update and save the Rmd document, the slides will be automatically reloaded.

The main R Markdown output format in this package is moon_reader(). See the R help page ?xaringan::moon_reader for all possible configurations. Below is a quick example:

---
title: "Presentation Ninja"
subtitle: "with xaringan"
author: "Yihui Xie"
date: "2016/12/12"
output:
  xaringan::moon_reader:
    lib_dir: libs
    nature:
      highlightStyle: github
      countIncrementalSlides: false
