Just some housekeeping to make sure the tut runs smoothly, you need the following installed and set up on your computer before we meet:
- A recent version of R (ideally the latest version, available here). Any version > 3.4.0 should be fine.
- Ditto for RStudio. This is, in my opinion, the most user friendly and powerful environment in which to use R, and especially RMarkdown.
- The R-package
rmarkdown. This can be installed by running the following code in the console in a new R-session on your computer:
install.packages("rmarkdown", dependencies = TRUE)If you can open RStudio, run the following line in the console:
"rmarkdown" %in% installed.packages()and it returns TRUE, then you are good to go.
