Installing materials locally

We will provide a link to a Posit Cloud space for the workshop. However, we recommend also installing the materials locally so you have two options.

To install the required packages and course materials, we have an R package called {causalworkshop} to help you do that! You can install {causalworkshop} from GitHub with:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("malcolmbarrett/causalworkshop")

Once you’ve installed the package, install the workshop with

causalworkshop::install_workshop()

By default, this package downloads the materials to a conspicuous place like your Desktop. You can also tell install_workshop() exactly where to put the materials:

causalworkshop::install_workshop("a/path/on/your/computer")
