I recommend RStudio not because I want to promote it in any sense, but because of the fact that it has the best support for Rnw/knitr at the moment, and it will save you a lot of headache to get started. It seems you just do not believe me, and insist on going through all the low-level configurations as a newbie. That will lead to confusion by definition. I do not know why you do not have _access_ to it; it is free and open source, so everybody has access to it unless one does not have the Internet connection.
I'm not the developer of TeXworks, so I have no control over what TeXworks can support. knitr and its website are open source; please feel free to improve them if you find anything unclear: http://yihui.name/en/2013/06/fix-typo-in-documentation/ Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyi...@gmail.com> Phone: 206-667-4385 Web: http://yihui.name Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 1:22 PM, C W <tmrs...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, Simon.
