R Console? #27

Open mtwelker opened 3 years ago

mtwelker commented 3 years ago

It is recommended to complete this lab in a regular R console, NOT in R Studio. You can do it using RMD docs as well, but some of the steps will be different and it complicates things.

I know this is probably a simple question, but where do I find a regular R console? I know where the console is in R studio, but are we supposed to use a different R console for the package assignment, and if so, where do I find it?

Before I downloaded R Studio I had to download R. I have been able to access it by searching for the 'R' application on my desktop. I hope this helps!

Thanks for asking.

@aawoods97 's suggestion is right-on. Look for an R folder under your program list:

Use the x64 version (for 64 bit machines, older machines are 32 bits). It will open an uninspiring boring window like this:

Also, you can open a script under FILE >> NEW SCRIPT.

If you highlight code in the script and right-click it has an option to run it.

Let's you keep track of your code and save the script as a .R file when you are done.

Thank you! I knew it was something simple!
