Looking for knitr example for beginner (NO RStudio)
Hi, @Yihui When I am using a public computer, say university computer lab or financial company. I do not have control what to install. I'm also very happy with R editor on OS X, it integrates with Mac well. As for my Mac Air, I am keeping installation to the minimal. There are a lot links on your page, I don't understand what I am reading. What is Rnw, what is markdown? As a newbie, it's above my level. I googled Rnw, it's refers to Sweave package, now I am tracking back to Sweave. As a user, I want to spend more time using the package, not installing. @Simon: thanks, I will definitely rename the extension. I really hope there will be a more thorough description somewhere soon. Mike

Hi Mike,
if you browse the folders, you find always the Rscript binary (the executable) under /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/.../Resources/Rscript.
Do not forget to give your tex file the extension .Rnw! Then surround each Rcode with <<write here a name....add later further options (important one; results = 'asis')>>= Here your r code as you do it in the R shell .... at the end a @. Always inside the \begin{document} \end{document} tags.
Best
Simon

Thanks, Simon. I would never figured it out! I apologize if I sound frustrated, because I am. @package author: you have a great package, but I think a lot of the directions are hand waving. For the newbies, this leads to more confusion. @Berend: I am using OS X. Mike On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 4:19 PM, Berend Hasselman <bhh at xs4all.nl> wrote:

From the window: Executable ==> Program. So the executable is Rscript.exe. Berend
