Setting up on your computer - R users
You can also use R and RStudio that you have installed locally.
Install R 4+
Any version of R 4+ will be fine.
https://cran.r-project.org/
Install RStudio Desktop
Please update to the latest version of RStudio Desktop: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/. Quarto comes bundled with RStudio so you do not need to install it separately.
Install the needed packages
For now install tidyverse.
install.packages(tidyverse)
Install Git or GitHub Desktop
You will need Git for interacting with GitHub and cloning repositories that we will use later.
GitHub Authentication
Read this section: Authenticating to GitHub.
