I installed RStudio Desktop windows version to study a course on coursera, and i have to knit a certain RMD file. I installed all the packages including "knitr" but i still can't find a knit button in my interface.

Rendering Output If you are using RStudio, then the “Knit” button (Ctrl+Shift+K) will render the document and display a preview of it.
No Knit HTML button This means that RStudio doesn't understand your document is supposed to be an RMarkdown document, often because your file extension is . txt . To fix this, go to the Files tab (lower right corner, same pane as Plots and Help) and select the checkbox next to your document's name.
To transform your markdown file into an HTML, PDF, or Word document, click the “Knit” icon that appears above your file in the scripts editor. A drop down menu will let you select the type of output that you want. When you click the button, rmarkdown will duplicate your text in the new file format.
In RStudio, click the Knit Word button. A Word document should appear. Save this Word file under a new name (for example, word-styles-reference-01. docx) in the same directory as the R Markdown file.
You need to have an Rmd file open. Either change the extension of the file to Rmd an reopen it or create a new Rmd file from the “new” menu.

I'm taking the same course, so I'll comment in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
On the course page, you right-click the file, then click Save Link As, enter the file name as HomeworkWeek1.RMD, and change Save As Type to All Files. This is very important; if you do not save the file as a .RMD file the knitting will not work. Then in your file explorer, find where you saved the file. Right-click the file and click Open With -> R Studio. Then go to R Studio, and click Knit in the upper left corner. Then another window will automatically pop up with a cleaned-up version of the homework assignment.
That's it!
