Installation

Please do this before the workshop starts
Use the 00_install_packages.R script to install all packages before the session. If you had problems come 30 min earlier to the session on 14th of October. We will help you :)

In case you don't have R installed yet, follow these steps (before running the script above):

1. Download R. Here you can find R.
2. Install an editor - it is really common to use RStudio to write R code as this editor is tailored to the R language. Here you can find RStudio - choose one based on your operating system.

This post guides you through the installation process.
