Nat, Yes, the first thing I did was read the README.md file. And I don't use Rstudio (which seems aimed more for Microsoft users than linux users; it offers no more -- for me -- than does emacs with ess). > You're going to need git installed, you can install it in memory using the > package manager of the liveCD if its not included, otherwise install it on > your linux machine first, and you are also going to need gcc (I think) and > the dependencies listed in the next section: Build the book Er, gcc comes with every linux distribution, and there's no 'second' machine here. > You can build the pdf by cloning this repo and running make: Aha! That's what I suspected was the case. The only stackexchange thread I found pointed to the presence of the all-inclusive .zip file so that's what I did. Will install git just for this type of situation. I use subversion so have never looked at git. > If you use RStudio, you can press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + B to run make. Don't ... and won't.
