1. Install R, Adobe Reader (or other pdf reader) and also install MiKTeX. Finally, download this example Sweave input file: http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/~leisch/Sweave/example-2.Snw and do this from the Windows cmd console:
Rcmd Sweave example-2.Snw pdflatex example-2.tex example-2.pdf The above require that the R bin directory and the relevant MiKTeX directory are in your path. Alternatively in http://batchfiles.googlecode.com you can find Sweave.bat which you place anywhere in your path and then just enter the single line: Sweave example-2.Snw This will also automatically find R and MiKTeX in most cases even if you have not modified your path. 2. For more, read the Sweave User Manual, google for LaTeX tutorials and for examples, see - the example in the User Manual, and also - look at the .Rnw file in any R package with a vignette, e.g. doBy package. - for latex examples see http://arxiv.org where you can find thousands.
