Complete these steps before the first episode. If you run into problems, please open an issue on the GitHub repository or ask your instructor.

Software

R and RStudio

This lesson requires R ≥ 4.2 and RStudio ≥ 2023.06 (or another IDE of your choice).

R packages

Install the required packages by running the following in your R console:

# Replace with the actual packages needed for this lesson
install.packages(c(
  "tidyverse",
  "here"
  # add packages here
))

Verify installation:

# Replace with the actual packages needed for this lesson
library(tidyverse)
library(here)
# add checks here

cat("All packages loaded successfully.\n")

Example data

Download the example dataset for this lesson:

# Replace with the actual data download for this lesson
download.file(
  url = "NA",   # replace with actual URL
  destfile = here("data", "example-data.csv")
)

About the example dataset

Replace this with a brief description of the dataset used in this lesson: what it contains, where it comes from, and any important caveats or licensing information.

Verify your setup

Run the following chunk to confirm everything is working before Episode 1:

# Replace with a meaningful check for this lesson
cat("R version:", R.version$major, ".", R.version$minor, "\n", sep = "")
# add further checks as needed

If all checks pass, you are ready to begin Episode 1.
