Write snippet for downloading data in R (through RStudio) #10

Open sarahrichmond opened 6 years ago

This may be a curl command, or perhaps something more R-ish i.e. an R download file package.

I've yet to put in snippet download code for R in the latest work for #12 as I'm not entirely familiar with R.

Similar to the comment I made in #9 - there's a question of whether we use a package and if so, how to communicate that to users with the snippet.

@sarahrichmond Any comments about the question of packages?

sarahrichmond commented 6 years ago

I thought the plan for now was to use curl commands that download the data to the server.

Does R not let you run curl commands?

If there is a package we need, we could ask @gweis to install it in the image so it's available across all servers.

It's more about the considerations for users using some other environment which may not have the packages available - but if the scope is limited to our own environment which does have the library then there is no immediate need to do what I've suggested.
