Submitting this issue following an email from a learner:

Windows install instructions are as follows (from https://github.com/datacarpentry/workshop-template/blob/gh-pages/_includes/windows.html):

In the workshop, we will use RStudio. RStudio is a nice interface to the programming language R. To use RStudio, you need to install both R and RStudio.

  • Download R from here
  • Run the .exe file that was just downloaded
  • Go to the RStudio Download page
  • Under Installers select RStudio 0.98.1103 - Windows XP/Vista/7/8
  • Double click the file to install it
  • Once it's installed, open RStudio to make sure it works and you don't get any error messages.

The Windows option on the RStudio download page is for RStudio 1.0.143 - Windows Vista/7/8/10 .

Since I'm not an R user I don't know if the download link in the first bullet is correct.
