I was able to open .Rmd in html and word, but not pdf. I installed MikTex and I think I have whatever packages (if any) installed.

## Introduction
This is a report on 2010 gun murder rates obtained from the FBI.
We are going to use the following library:
```{r loading-libs, message=FALSE}
library(tidyverse)
```
and load the data we already wrangled:
```{r}
load("rda/murders.rda")
```
## Murder rate by state
We note the large stata to state variablity by generating a barplot showing the murder rate by state:
```{r murder-rate-by-state, echo=FALSE}
murders %>% mutate(abb = reorder(abb, rate)) %>%
ggplot(aes(abb, rate)) +
geom_bar(width = 0.5, stat = "identity", color = "black") +
coord_flip()
```
