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.

The author asks for feedback on the developing second edition, and I need to learn how to use the subject of the book (ggplot2 for R graphics). Turns out that I don't need to learn or use ggplot2; the lattice package will work just as well with the knitr module that allows R code to be embedded in LaTeX/LyX documents. When the document is compiled, the R code is compiled first and the results are included within the LaTeX/LyX document. This saves cutting-and-pasting and provide guidance on using R to analyze data to those reading the document. It's interesting that all the knitr documents I've read, including Xuihi's book, mention only R's base graphics and Hadley Wickham's ggplot2. That's why I thought I needed an additional graphics package. Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Re: [PLUG] Using GitHub Download
Read the README.md file that comes with the project. If you scroll down its going to be printed out on the screen, too, at the bottom of the list of files. If this is the one: https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2-book then you read the README.md which I have pasted below. Ideally you have RStudio installed, note the highlighted part. Otherwise you type the commands on the command line. 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 You can build the pdf by cloning this repo and running make: $ git clone https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2-book.git $ cd ggplot2-book $ make If you use RStudio, you can press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + B to run make. Installing dependencies To successfully build this book, you'll need R package development prerequisites https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486498-Package-Development-Prerequisites , pandoc and pandoc-citeproc http://pandoc.org/installing.html, potentially the Inconsolata font http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/inconsolata/, and a number of R packages. The CRAN packages we depend on are listed in the DESCRIPTION, so you can install them quickly via devtools http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/devtools/: devtools::install_deps(path/to/ggplot2-book, dependencies = TRUE) There are also a couple GitHub packages which we depend on: devtools::install_github(c(adletaw/captioner, hadley/bookdown)) On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 2:59 PM, Rich Shepard rshep...@appl-ecosys.com wrote: On Fri, 10 Jul 2015, Larry Brigman wrote: You could try it from a git clone of the project.

[PLUG] Using GitHub Download
An update to a 5-year-old book is being written with code available on the project's github page. The author asks for feedback on the developing second edition, and I need to learn how to use the subject of the book (ggplot2 for R graphics). My Web search taught me that there's a 'download everything as a .zip file' button on each project page. I used that link and now have a local directory that is supposed to be the entire source, but I cannot find the *.tex files to compile. Do I need a github account to get everything needed to build the document locally? Suggestions and advice appreciated.
