Steps to install R Tools on personally-owned Windows machines

1) With the installr package, Rtools may be installed from within R by running installr::install_rtools()

2) Without the installr package Rtools can be installed from HERE

3) After the install completes, run devtools::find_rtools() to ensure R can find Rtools

a) If this function returns `TRUE` go on to $\LaTeX$

b) If this function returns `FALSE` follow the steps below to edit the system path

    + Perform a search for 'Environment Variables'

    + If you have admin rights, choose `Edit the System Environment Variables` otherwise choose `Edit Environment Variables For Your Account`

    + Find the variable `Path` $\rightarrow$ click Edit $\rightarrow$ add `c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin`

    + If the `Path` variable doesn't exist or isn't editable click `New` $\rightarrow$ create the variable `Path` $\rightarrow$ assign the value `c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin`

    + Once again, run `devtools::find_rtools()` if this still returns `FALSE` check the directory in which Rtools is located
