I am trying to use rmarkdown in Rstudio (0.98.953) on a PC for the first time. I updated to the latest versions of R (3.1.1) and R studio. The result from sessionInfo () is shown at the end of this question.
As I understand it, rmarkdown should be included in Rstudio. However, when I choose to create a document with a label in Rstudio, a dialog box appears in which additional packages should be installed. The rmarkdown installation always stops, with the following message:
Installing package into '\\cfsk18.campus.gla.ac.uk/SSD_Home_Data_X/jm383x/My Documents/R/win-library/3.1'

I assume this is due to the use of a managed workplace at my place of work. However, this is usually not a problem, since these machines have much less restrictions than usual, and all other packages, software, etc. They tend to work.
