Install and run a course manually
Here's a simple way to install a swirl course.
-
Click on the Download ZIP button on the righthand side of this page.
-
Enter the following from the R console, substituting the correct file path to your downloaded file and the name of your desired course:
library(swirl)
install_course_zip("path/to/file/here/swirl_course-master.zip", multi=TRUE,
which_course="Course Name Here")
swirl()
For example, if you download the zip file to ~/Downloads/swirl_course-master.zip, then the following command will install the Getting Data from API with R course.
install_course_zip("~/Downloads/swirl_course-master.zip", multi=TRUE, which_course="Getting_Data_from_API_with_R")
Please note that course names are case sensitive!
Although we recommend you install one course at a time, if you omit the which_course argument, then all available courses from this repository will be installed:
install_course_zip("~/Downloads/swirl_courses-master.zip", multi=TRUE)
Uninstall a course
If you'd like to remove a course at any time, you can use uninstall_course("Course Name Here").
