0. The Basics of R: Starting-up

Theory Setting-up online access

You can use R and RStudio both online (you only need a web-browser and internet) and offline (by running R and RStudio on your computer). In this class we will use both systems and you will therefore need to set-up both.

This section explains how to set-up your online access.

To get online access you should

  1. Open an internet browser and go to https://rstudio.cloud/
  2. If you don't have an account yet:
    1. Click on the "Sign up" link at the upper-right.
    2. Enter your login-details (or login via your Google or Github account)
    3. Go back to the home page,
  3. Select "Log In" and provide your log-in information

After you log-in you get a screen like the one below.

Select the blue button 'New Project' (a bit at the upper-right of the screen) to start-up RStudio.

You then get the screen shown below and are ready to use R/RStudio in the cloud.

The next section explains how to set-up R and RStudio on your computer.
