Help with rmarkdown and knitr packages

[Kratos]

Hi all,

I am a new user of R and I need to export my R code into a word document. After researching a few packages I was made aware that "knitr" is the best option available to me. After installing both this and "rmarkdown" I get the following error message.

Any help would be great

Thanks!

You are been asked to install caTools package, what happens if you try to install it?

install.packages("caTools")

Hi Andres,

Thank you for your response.

So I did try installing that package but I came up with an error, stating that my version of RStudio did not support it. I then uninstalled everything and reinstalled it and I got the following

I have no idea what it is referring to as I haven't used the rank function, so I am slightly confused.

As an additional question, is there an easier way in which I can update both R and RStudio without having to uninstall them and then reinstall?

Thanks

We would need a REPRoducible EXample (reprex) to help you with this.

There is no need to uninstall, you just have to install the new version.

Thanks Andres, I just copied the code into a new document and it now works.
