You can install either the CRAN version or the development version on GitHub (https://github.com/yihui/xaringan):

# install from CRANinstall.packages('xaringan')# or GitHubdevtools::install_github('yihui/xaringan')

If you use RStudio, it is easy to get started from the menuFile -> New File -> R Markdown -> From Template -> Ninja Presentation, and you will see an R Markdown example in the editor. Press theKnit button to compile it, or use the RStudio addinInfinite Moon Reader to live preview the slides: every time you update and save the Rmd document, the slides will be automatically reloaded.
