I have just created a "toy" R package. The package includes the vignettes folder with two documents:

vignette.Rmd: with the code used to generate the vignette
vignette.html: which is the result after pressing the knitr button in R studio.

After installing correctly the package (I have got access to all the functions) when I run browseVignettes("name_of_package") I get the following message:

                 `No vignettes found by browseVignettes("name_of_package")`

I read some posts like knitr .Rmd vignettes do not appear with vignette() but I didn't solve the problem. Any idea will be appreciated.

What is the result of `list.files(system.file("doc", package = "name_of_package"))`? – Ralf Stubner Mar 21 '18 at 15:28
The result is `character(0)` – R18 Mar 22 '18 at 08:19
This tells us that the vignette was not installed. How did you install the package? Which commands with which options? – Ralf Stubner Mar 22 '18 at 09:38
I used the `install_github()` function because the code is on GitHub – R18 Mar 22 '18 at 09:49

With which options? In particular, did you use `build_vignettes = TRUE` as explained in the post you referenced? – Ralf Stubner Mar 22 '18 at 09:51
I tried but it did not work. I uninstalled the package and installed again with the `build_vignettes = TRUE` option and it finally worked. – R18 Mar 22 '18 at 10:49
