How was your install process? Anything I should know for future students?
The install process was fairly smooth. The only thing not included in the instructons was the necessity to install some futher packages to make a an R Markdown, but it was an automatic process that just required a verification. Overall it was very painfree and the instructions were straightforward and efficent.
Have you used any statistical software before?
The only statistical software I have used is Excel for a few stats classes.
