I am following the instruction in Authoring Books with R Markdown relative reproducing to the minimal bookdown book.

Getting started.

https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/get-started.html

The easiest way for beginners to get started with writing a book with R Markdown and bookdown is through the demo bookdown-demo on GitHub:

  1. Download the GitHub repository https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown-demo as a Zip file, then unzip it locally.
  2. Install the RStudio IDE. Note that you need a version higher than 1.0.0. Please download the latest version if your RStudio version is lower than 1.0.0.
  3. Install the R package bookdown:

  4. stable version on CRAN

  5. install.packages("bookdown")

  6. or development version on GitHub

devtools::install_github('rstudio/bookdown')

  1. Open the bookdown-demo repository you downloaded in RStudio by clicking bookdown-demo.Rproj.

  2. Open the R Markdown file index.Rmd and click the button Build Book on the Build tab of RStudio.

All is fine until I reach the point where it states ... "click the button Build Book on the Build tab of RStudio."

Problem: I can locate no 'Build' button. As such, I Knit the document from within Index.Rmd. The document renders but with no content in any of the pages except Index.Rmd.

Thislinked image is all the content I get.

I am running this version of R Studio.

The Build tab is a tab in another pane in the RStudio IDE:

The Build tab in RStudio

It's not on the toolbar of the source editor.
