RAdelaide25

RAdelaide25 Setup Instructions

The course will be run in Room 4.50, The Braggs, The University of Adelaide, starting at 9am each day. https://maps.app.goo.gl/fHG17gG7qNFMWNUw5

For this session we’ll need both R and RStudio installed and the instructions for this are provided below. People on managed devices may need to work with their IT Department, whilst for those on self-managed devices, the process should hopefully be easy to wrangle.

There’s no strict requirement to use the latest version of R although the absolute minimum required version will be R 4.2.1. The latest release is R 4.5.1 and this is the version the course has been tested on. Earlier versions are still expected to work, as long as they are above the minimum version (i.e. R 4.2.1, R 4.3.x or R 4.4.x).

If you’re having trouble with installation, we will be available from 8:30 on Tuesday 8th to help you.

Self-Managed Devices

To install R please head to https://cran.r-project.org and install the version suitable for your operating system. This will be the latest release (v4.5.1)
After installing R, please head to https://posit.co/downloads/ and install the free version of RStudio Desktop
Open R (not RStudio) and paste the following lines followed by <Enter>:

install.packages(
  c(
    "tidyverse", "ggrepel", "ggpmisc", "corrplot", "pheatmap", "reactable", 
    "htmltools", "palmerpenguins", "lme4", "lmerTest", "rmarkdown",
    "broom", "car", "carData", "glue", "patchwork", "plotly", "scales",
    "ggthemes", "ggbiplot", "ggcorrplot"
  )
)

That should be all you need to do to get started

Managed Devices

If you have a laptop managed by your institution’s IT department, please check the software centre they manage for the packages R and RStudio. If these are not available, please contact your IT department to have them installed. We have contingency plans for those who have difficulties with installation so please let us know if you have problems and we’ll get you setup using a Posit cloud account.

Once you have R installed, please paste the same code as above, followed by the <Enter> key. Again, do contact us if there are any problems with this code being executed.

install.packages(
  c(
    "tidyverse", "ggrepel", "ggpmisc", "corrplot", "pheatmap", "reactable", 
    "htmltools", "palmerpenguins", "lme4", "lmerTest", "rmarkdown",
    "broom", "car", "carData", "glue", "patchwork", "plotly", "scales",
    "ggthemes", "ggbiplot", "ggcorrplot"
  )
