installing R and RStudio

upgrade from RStudio Cloud to working on your own machine

We use RStudio Cloud in the first few weeks of this course because it is the fastest and most pain-free way to get started with R. All you need is internet connection and you can get an RStudio interface that has a functional project set up with packages preinstalled.

If you are really practicing your coding though, sometime in Week 2 or 3 you will run out of free hours on your RStudio Cloud. Congratulations! It is time to upgrade to working in RStudio on your own machine.

Danielle has made a series of videos here that walk you through the process of installing R and RStudio, no matter your machine set up.
