Before the course
Please create accounts on the following websites:
R Stuff
R Version
R 3.5+ will almost certainly be fine for this course, but I've constructed the material using R 4.0.0, so if possible please update to the latest version of R.
RStudio or ...
I'll be using RStudio. Again, the version probably doesn't matter, but if possible, use the latest.
You don't have to use RStudio. If you use something else, please ensure you can push/pull from GitHub.
R packages
We'll use the following R packages during the tutorial:
- remotes
- gh
- drat
- roxygen2
- usethis
- rhub
- travis
- pkgdown
To install run
install.packages(c("remotes", "gh", "drat", "roxygen2", "usethis", "rhub",
"devtools", "pkgdown"))
remotes::install_github("ropenscilabs/travis")
