I am new to R-programming and I am trying to install Slidify and I am currently having a problem. I am running on the below version of RStudio:

R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows >= 8 x64 (build 9200)

I am using the below code to install Slidify:

install_github("slidify", "ramnathv")
install_github("slidifyLibraries", "ramnathv")*

I get the following error:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Error: Command failed (1)
In addition: Warning message:
Username parameter is deprecated. Please use ramnathv/slidifyLibraries

I have also tried the below code to install Slidify:

pkgs <- c('ramnathv/slidifyLibraries', 'ramnathv/slidify')
devtools::install_github(pkgs)*

and I get the following error:

Error: Command failed (1)

Does anyone have experience installing Slidify?

1) install_github() function is in devtools package, so first you have to install this package using install.packages("devtools").

2) Then load the library using 

library(devtools)

3) Now use your code 

install_github("slidify", "ramnathv")
install_github("slidifyLibraries", "ramnathv")

It will work properly.
