I've found two problems in interpreting adv-r-master/book/build-book.r:
1. All pathes in build-book.r refer to the starting-directory "adv-r-master".
However, the script build-book.r is located in the directory "book", which is
located in directory "adv-r-master". Therefore, pathes starting at "." are
wrong (should start at "..").
2. Some file names have endings "Rmd", but e.g. in the line "chapters <-
dir(".", pattern = "\\.rmd$")" these endings are named "rmd". Therefore, the
files (e.g. "base-types.Rmd") cannot be found.
Pandoc I have installed. Maybe there will arise further problems, but still I
am experimenting with pathes.
Best,
Albrecht
