RMarkdown and Quarto – prerequisites

Author

Indrek Seppo

Prerequisites

We will need (preferably the latest versions of) R, RStudio and Quarto. These can be downloaded from:

R for Windows: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/
R for OS X https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/
RStudio for Windows, OS X and Linux: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/
Quarto for Windows, OS X and Linux: https://quarto.org/docs/download/

All of these are free to use and open source.

In addition to that we need LaTeX environment for full experience (to generate pdfs). For this please run this in your RStudio:

install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()

We will use some additional packages like tidyverse, tufte, rticles etc, but we can install them during the seminar (note that if you upgraded R in the previous step you might need to reinstall all the packages!).

See you at the seminar!
