Can provide released pdf or epub?

[ChenXuzheng]

I found this book is very suitable for fresh man who begin to learning CLI. But can you provide a release pdf or epub format file by github action or release page, even can provide those file in root path? R language is rare and not installed to most audiences 🥲

or please consider Github Action to generate PDF/ePub automatically for every commit

I managed to generate the PDF with the texlive/texlive docker image.

git clone https://github.com/xuxiaodong/usingcli-book.git
cd usingcli-book
sudo docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/cwd" --workdir /cwd texlive/texlive:latest-small bash

Then inside the docker container, run

apt update
apt install build-essential file pandoc r-base-dev
export MAKEFLAGS=" -j $(nproc)"

Run R and type in these commands

install.packages("rmarkdown")
install.packages("bookdown")

Exit R, run make pdf

The generated PDF file can be found inside the _book directory.

@kanna5 This is a nice example for a fresh man to R language! Thank you!
