Install/Update R & RStudio
The workshops run more smoothly when everyone is using the same version of R and tidyverse. Please update R and tidyverse, if necessary (and less crucially, RStudio).
Verify R version
Open RStudio. At the top of the Console you will see session info. The first line tells you which version of R you are using. If RStudio is already open and you’re deep in a session, type to print out the R version.
Do you have R version (“Eggshell Igloo”) installed?
- No - follow the instructions for “Updating R”
- Yes - Great! Do you have tidyverse installed?
- No or I don’t know - See “Installing tidyverse”
- Yes - Great! Go to Go to Tools > Check for Package Updates. If there’s an update available for tidyverse, install it.
