I was trying to install Slidify package using R version 3.1.2 in Window OS.

using the command- install.packages("slidify")

it returns an error saying 'slidify' is unavailable for version 3.1.2.

Is this really not available for version 3.1.2?

If so what is the alternate package that i can use instead of 'Slidify'?

  • note that Rstudio has built in presentation tool https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486468-Authoring-R-Presentations - it doesn't do all of what slidify does, and is baked into the rstudio IDE – sckott Dec 12 '14 at 22:43

Slidify is not on CRAN (yet?). You have to install it from GitHUB (as mentioned on the Slidify website):

Slidify is not on CRAN as yet and needs to be installed from github. You can use Hadley's devtools package to accomplish this easily. You will also need slidifyLibraries which contains all external libraries required by Slidify.

library(devtools)
install_github('slidify', 'ramnathv')
install_github('slidifyLibraries', 'ramnathv')

    I get a warning `Username parameter is deprecated. Please use ramnathv/slidify`, so I run `install_github('ramnathv/slidify')` and `install_github('ramnathv/slidifyLibraries')` instead. – Benedikt Köppel Jan 19 '15 at 17:34
  • It's a warning and things should work. You can also use the latter approach suggested therein. I just copy/pasted from the slidify github repo and wasn't paying much attention, sorry. – Roman Luštrik Jan 20 '15 at 14:42
