Loading FH Dataset after download #13

Closed THGratzi closed 1 year ago

THGratzi commented 1 year ago

Hi Xavier,

I'm terribly sorry to ask this but I'm quite new to downloading datasets through Github on RStudio. I've been able to get the download_fh function to run but don't know how to load the processed dataset or where I can find its download location. Wondering if you'd be able to provide some quick insight. Thanks.

Hi THGratzy, normally you'd do this:

remotes::install_github("xmarquez/democracyData")
library(democracyData)
fh <- download_fh()
fh

And fh will be your Freedom House dataset. Have you tried this?

Ah, it looks like I missed the specific part of the command to save the downloaded file to "fh". I went off the website commands instead of using your readme which is entirely my fault. Many thanks.

No problem!
