Getting set up for the course

For both Semester A and Semester B modules, we expect you to download and install R and RStudio. You will need the following:

You’ll find a fantastic video guide to installing R and RStudio by Danielle Navarro over on YouTube

Another possibility is RStudio.cloud, a web-based version of RStudio accessible from anywhere using a web-browser such as Chrome. For many parts of the course, the 25 hours free monthly access will be sufficient. However, you may find that during assessment times this isn’t adequate for your needs.
