**Looking for xaringanBuilder?**
The package formerly known as xaringanBuilder is now **renderthis**.
If you need to install xaringanBuilder under the previous package name,
[see the instructions below](#installing-xaringanbuilder).

## Installation

**Note**: To get the most out of renderthis, we recommend installing the
package **with dependencies** and making sure that you have a local
installation of Google Chrome. See the
[Setup](https://jhelvy.github.io/renderthis/articles/renderthis-setup.html)
page for details.

You can install the latest version of renderthis from
[CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/) with:

```{r}
install.packages("renderthis")
```

And the development version from GitHub with:

```{r}
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("jhelvy/renderthis")
```

Some output formats require additional packages, and each format will provide
instructions about how to install any missing dependencies. You can also
choose to install renderthis with all of its dependencies:

```{r}
# From CRAN
install.packages("renderthis", dependencies = TRUE)

# From GitHub
remotes::install_github("jhelvy/renderthis", dependencies = TRUE)
```

## Usage

```{r child="man/fragments/usage.Rmd", eval = TRUE}

```

Learn more about renderthis in the
[Get Started article](https://jhelvy.github.io/renderthis/articles/renderthis.html).

## Citation Information

If you use this package in a publication, I would greatly appreciate it if you cited it. You can get the citation information by typing `citation("renderthis")` into R:

```{r, echo = FALSE, eval = TRUE, results='asis'}
citation("renderthis")
```

## Installing xaringanBuilder

You can install the xaringanBuilder package as it was just prior to the name change with:

```r
remotes::install_github("jhelvy/[email protected]")
```

Even though the install command mentions `renderthis`, the package will be installed as xaringanBuilder.
