Hi

I had problems installing rmarkdown updated version in Rstudio

Rstudio can not open a new rmarkdown file and it requests an updated version. However, when I tried to install one , it did not work.

Here is what I got:

Installing package into 'C:/Users/tmm447/Documents/R/win-library/3.3'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies 'base64enc', 'jsonlite'
