[R] Fwd: Learning advanced R

[Albrecht Kauffmann]

I've found the solution to compile the adv-r-book from source: After doing some settings (see: 
https://travis-ci.org/hadley/adv-r/jobs/353347080/config ) 
and installation of netlify-cli, the command-line is:
Rscript -e 'bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd","bookdown::pdf_book")'

This works fine. Thank you for all hints!

Best, Albrecht
