This page lists all the software we’ll be using in class.

You should install and set everything here before the first day of class.

  1. Install / setup these tools:
  1. Install the latest version of R and RStudio:

We will always work in RStudio, so be careful to open RStudio and not the default R application that comes with R:

Open this Not this!
  1. Sign up for RStudio cloud (the free version). It’s basically the same thing as RStudio, but accessible via a web browser. If things aren’t working on your computer, this is a great backup to quickly get back to working in R!

That’s it - you’re all set for class!
