I am looking forward to meeting you at the Tuesday AM (10th of July) tutorial session at useR2018!. We will be discussing a subject that I am very passionate about: Web Scraping!

The slides can be found here:

To ensure that we can be immediately productive on Tuesday morning, I would like you to get the following set up on your machines beforehand:

  • Install R (preferably the most recent version, 3.5.0)
  • Install RStudio (preferably the most recent version)
  • Install Tidyverse
  • Install Docker
    • This tutorial gives instructions on getting Docker set up.
    • If you are running a Windows machine - install Docker Toolbox, not just Docker
  • Install a VNC client (TightVNC is a good option)
    • If you using linux I suggest Vinagre
  • RSelenium was recently removed from CRAN, so use the following installation sequence to install RSelenium
devtools::install_github("johndharrison/binman")
devtools::install_github("johndharrison/wdman")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/RSelenium")
