Note. You will need to create an empty repo on github and replace USER and REPO with your github username and reponame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Step 0: Install Slidify<\/h3>\n

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

    \n
  1. library<\/span>(<\/span>devtools<\/span>)<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n
  2. install_github<\/span>(<\/span>'slidify'<\/span>,<\/span> 'ramnathv'<\/span>)<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n
  3. install_github<\/span>(<\/span>'slidifyLibraries'<\/span>,<\/span> 'ramnathv'<\/span>)<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step 1: Author Deck<\/h3>\n

    This step will create a new directory mydeck<\/code> and add the necessary scaffolding. If you have git<\/code> installed, it will initialize it a git<\/code> repo, checkout itsgh-pages<\/code> branch, add and commit everything. Finally, it will open index.Rmd<\/code> for you to edit.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. author<\/span>(<\/span>\"mydeck\"<\/span>)<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Step 2: Edit Deck<\/h3>\n

      Edit the YAML front matter (if you don’t know what it is, just replace everything to the right of the :<\/code> in the lines between the ---<\/code> right at the top). Edit the deck, making sure to separate your slides by a blank line followed by three dashes ---<\/code>.<\/p>\n

      Step 3: Generate Deck<\/h3>\n

      This step generates a html slide deck from index.Rmd<\/code>. It is a static file, which means that you can open it in your browser locally and it should display fine.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. slidify<\/span>(<\/span>\"index.Rmd\"<\/span>)<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Step 4: Publish Deck<\/h3>\n

        Now is the magical step of publishing your deck to github<\/code>. You have three options: github<\/code>, dropbox<\/code> and rpubs<\/code><\/p>\n

        Github<\/h4>\n

        Login with your github account and create a new repository<\/a>. Note that Github will prompt you to add a README file, but just use the defaults so that your repo is empty. You will need to have git<\/code> installed on your computer and be able to push to github<\/code> using SSH<\/a><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. # replace USER and REPO with your username and reponame<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n
        2. publish<\/span>(<\/span>user <\/span>=<\/span> \"USER\"<\/span>,<\/span> repo <\/span>=<\/span> \"REPO\"<\/span>,<\/span> host <\/span>=<\/span> 'github'<\/span>)<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Dropbox<\/h4>\n
            \n
          1. publish<\/span>(<\/span>'mydeck'<\/span>,<\/span> host <\/span>=<\/span> 'dropbox'<\/span>)<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
