Extra Resources

Access Lesson

Initial Package Installation

We use the install.packages function to install modular components of the R ecosystem. For instance, to access lesson materials, we'll use the usethis package. To install it, we run the following function in our console:

install.packages("usethis")

Download Lesson Materials

With the package installed, you you can download this lesson to your Desktop easily using usethis:

usethis::use_course("https://github.com/chris-prener/data-skills-05/archive/master.zip")

By using usethis::use_course, all of the lesson materials will be downloaded to your computer, automatically extracted, and saved to your desktop. The data-skills-05-master project should open automatically afterwards. Windows users will have the data downloaded to their user folder (e.g. C:/Users/<USERNAME>/).

Install Other Packages for Today

In addition to usethis, there are a couple of other packages we'll need:

install.packages(c("tidyverse", "here", "ggthemes", "knitr", "rmarkdown"))

If you've already attended some of these sessions, you should have everything you need for today.

Now we're ready to go!
