Installation of KnitR

KnitR comes as a CRAN package, hence can be installed as any CRAN package either with your R package manager, if you use one, for example that which comes with your IDE or simple from the R command line by typing

where the part about the dependencies automatically installs all packages that are needed for the use of knitR.
