Chapter 1 Preparing for the course

This Chapter helps you prepare for the course. It shows how to install R and RStudio on your computer. We’ll also provide some general information on R, and how you can get help if you get error messages.

If you’re already using R, all of this might be nothing new for you. You may skip this chapter then.

If you have never used R before, this Chapter is essential, as it gives you some input on how R works, and how we can use it for our data analyses.
