### Installing Packages

#### How do I install the `{gt}` package?

Versions of the [`{gt}`](https://gt.rstudio.com/) package, up to and including v0.5.0, use [PhantomJS](https://phantomjs.org/) (a scriptable headless browser) to take screenshots of tables produced by `{gt}`. Newer versions ot `{gt}` require a Chromium-based browser which is not yet configured correctly in the Posit Workbench environment.

#### How do I install the `{hablar}` package?

The `{hablar}` package cannot be installed as a pre-compiled binary; attempting this gives an error.

However, `{hablar}`'s dependencies can be installed as binaries first.
