I understand that using the "header-includes" option in the YAML front matter of an Rmarkdown document allows the inclusion of LaTeX packages (details here), but how is this done for an Rstudio R presentation?

  • You should give a minimal example of such a presentation. – user2554330 Jan 03 '18 at 20:15
  • That's a bit fussy. A minimal example of an R presentation is an empty presentation in Rstudio. I.e., in Rstudio: File -> New File -> R Presentation. – sahoang Jan 03 '18 at 20:32
  • That gives a Markdown presentation that produces HTML, it doesn't use LaTeX at all. So you can't make use of LaTeX packages without some equivalent of `output: pdf_document`, and I don't know a way to add that in an R presentation. I was assuming you did. – user2554330 Jan 03 '18 at 20:51

You can't. If you want to use LaTeX packages, you need to be using LaTeX, and R Presentations don't.

You can generate presentations in PDF that use LaTeX using the Beamer option to R Markdown presentations. With those the methods on https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/171711/how-to-include-latex-package-in-r-markdown will work.
