Summary and Setup

This is a new lesson built with The Carpentries Workbench.

Software Setup

---

Windows

You can watch the YouTube video tutorial for complete instructions.

• Install R by downloading and running this .exe file from CRAN.
  
• Please, also install Rtools
  • Note that if you have separate user and admin accounts, you should run the installers as administrator (right-click on .exe file and select “Run as administrator” instead of double-clicking). Otherwise problems may occur later, for example when installing R packages.

MacOS

Follow the video tutorial for detailed instructions.

• Install R by downloading and running this .pkg file from CRAN

Linux

• You can download the binary files for your distribution from [CRAN](http://cran.r-project.org/index.html

Or

• you can use your package manager (e.g. for Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install r-base

• for Fedora run

sudo dnf install R

There are some extra things to install for all operating systems.

RStudio

Please install the RStudio IDE. It is the user interface towards R, and is required for this workshop.

R packages

Lastly, you will need to install two packages to join the workshop, namely the {tidyverse} and {palmerpenguins} packages. You can do this by opening RStudio, and in the panel labelled “console” (usually in the bottom left corner), type the following:

R

install.packages(c("tidyverse", "palmerpenguins"))
