But when it tries to install knitr, the following error occurs:
Error: Command failed (1)

I have removed knitr and stringi and installed them again, but the error remains. What can I do? Thank you in advance!
That is strange that re-installing the packages didn't fix the issue. What version of R and packrat are you using? Could you run sessionInfo() after you receive the error?
I created a project on RStudio Cloud to reproduce the example (hopefully you'll be able to access it via that link). I was able to run the exact same command without error using R 3.6.0 and packrat 0.5.0.

And, by the way, I have also tried reinstalling all the packages that knitr directly/indirectly depends on: (mime, glue, magrittr, stringi, evaluate, highr, markdown, stringr, yaml, xfun and, of course, knitr). The error is still the same.
Finally! I have managed to initialize it correctly. I removed all the packages related to knitr (mime, glue, magrittr, stringi, evaluate, highr, markdown, stringr, yaml, xfun and, of course, knitr). But, before reinstalling them, I also deleted manually the folders I found in /home/username/.config/packrat/v2/library. It seems that Packrat was taking that directory as the source for some of the packages (which ones? I have no idea ) and, hence, the error. After that, I reinstalled all the packages again, initialized Packrat and...
