Section 21.1.1 Prerequisites #1597

Closed jcornickm closed 10 months ago

Souldn't duckdb be included among the Prerequisites? It is used early in the chapter, in section 21.3.1, and even though that section indicated that it is an R package, it took me a second that I had to install it separatedly, ie. that it was not part of any of the libraries listend in Prerequistes.

Again, small potatoes that might, however, be confusing for those who are completely new to R

Thanks for the feedback! We do this in a few places where we don't load the package and we use one or two functions from it with ::. These packages are in DESCRIPTION, as well as at https://r4ds.hadley.nz/intro#other-packages.
