Starting to work with R

There may be some who have just started working with R after someone convinced them that R is the way to go. For those souls, it may be difficult to get started quickly. Below are some of the steps to use to start working with R

Step 1: Go to the CRAN webpage and download the version of R that is appropriate for your operating system - http://cran.r-project.org/

Step 2: Install R

Step 3: Download a GUI for R – While R comes with a GUI, other GUIs are much better. My favorite is RStudio, To download RStudio, go to RStudio website and download the version that is appropriate for your operating system - http://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/

Step 4: Install RStudio (or a GUI of your choice).

Step 5: Start using RStudio (or GUI of your choice)

That’s it – Good luck!
