rmd保存html,r - Knitting from rmd to html - Stack Overflow

I'm trying to knit this rmd file for my class and I have to do it on the class server. Problem is I access to that server with a ssh connection (since I didn't want to install a virtual machine) and therefore can't use the RStudio really handy knit button

I've tried using knitr() and rmarkdown::render() and nothing seems to work.

So far i've tried :

require(knitr)

require(rmarkdown)

knit(file.rmd, file.md)

makdownToHTML(file.md, file.html)

this allows me to knit the file, but won't add the theme, author name, date and toc that are necessary for this project

I've also tried :

rmarkdown::render(file.rmd)

Which gives me:

pandoc version 1.12.3 or higher is required and was not found.

I've checked and for some reason the rmarkdown::pandoc_version() is null on the server (even though it's supposed to be installed with RStudio that the rest of the class uses on the virtual machine)

Right now I am looking for way to bypass the pandoc or load the files in my home to be able to knit this rmd file once and for all...

Any idea on the matter??
