Getting started with R
In this venture, the first step is setting up the R environment. This involves installing two key components: R itself and RStudio, a popular integrated development environment (IDE) that makes using R easier and more efficient.
Setting up the R environment
R can be downloaded from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) [1] by Windows and macOS users. The installation process is straightforward: run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions, accepting the default settings that are suitable for most users. For Linux and Unix systems, you can install R packages using their package management tool. Please follow the tutorial here for supportive guidance [2].
Once R is installed, the next step is to install RStudio, which provides a user-friendly interface for working with R. Download RStudio from its official website [3, 4], selecting the free version, the RStudio Desktop Open Source license.
