Installing Pandoc
- [Instructor] So R Markdown is the technology that we use to generate HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, Word files, and much more. But the actual workhorse of R markdown is something called Pandoc. Pandoc is capable of converting .Rmd files into almost anything else. It's a really wonderful bunch of tools. Unfortunately 1/10 of the things that you want to do with R Markdown require you to be on version two or greater, and most people don't have version two of Pandoc installed on their machine, and it's not possible to programmatically install it from our studio. However, it's actually very simple to ensure that you have the latest version of Pandoc available on your machine. If you navigate to this URL, you will be given a prompt to download the latest version of Pandoc for your operating system.
