Setup R and RStudio
Following along with tutorials in
Learn how to setup R and RStudio and follow along with the eReefs tutorials.
R and RStudio setup
Download and install R
(the programming language) and RStudio (the integrated development environment) following these RStudio installation instructions.
Linux dependencies
RStudio makes it easy to install the required R packages, but it can’t install any system-level (Linux) dependencies. These need to be installed separately.
On Ubuntu, you can install those dependencies using the following command:
Running R code in RStudio
Open RStudio and create a new project: File > New Project > New Directory > New Project. Click New File
in the bottom-right panel, and choose R Script
. The new R file will open in the main panel of RStudio.
You can now copy / paste code chunks from the tutorial page, by clicking the button in the right corner of each chunk. Make sure you run them in order.
Installing R packages
You may encounter the situation where an R package used in the tutorials have not yet been installed on your machine. You can install the package manually by running the following command:
install.packages("<package name>") # replace <package name> with the name of the R package you wish to install
