R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.
Install R by downloading and running this .exe file from CRAN. Also, please install the RStudio IDE.
Install R by downloading and running this .pkg file from CRAN. Also, please install the RStudio IDE.
You can download the binary files for your distribution
from CRAN. Or
you can use your package manager (e.g. for Debian/Ubuntu
run sudo apt-get install r-base
and for Fedora run
sudo yum install R
). This workshop requires a version of R
no older than version 3.1.2; the default software repositories for some
Linux distributions maybe out of date. It is recommended that you use a
more recent version of R by adding the relevant entries to your package
manager. See the instructions for
your distribution on
the CRAN website. Also, please install the
RStudio IDE.
