Welcome ECREEE Fellows!
To get started, you will need access to the tutorials we have prepared for this workshop. Here are two options:
Option 1: The easiest way to access and share these tutorials (and the best way to work collaboratively on almost any project!) is through github.com. If you don't already use github, I suggest the following easy-to-follow tutorial to help you get started. This will take ~30 minutes.
Assuming that you are now setup with git, github, and have navigated to the project page, you can "clone" the repository containing the tutorials. The "clone" button creates a local copy of the github repository on your machine. From the terminal, type:
git clone "https://github.com/Ecohen4/ECREEE.git"
Option 2: Alternatively, skip all that and simply download the tutorials as a ZIP file. Go to the project page and click "Download ZIP" on the bottom-right of the page. This avoids getting setup with github altogether and is just like downloading data from anywhere on the web.
After following Option 1 or 2 from above, you can now load the tutorials in RStudio:
RStudio > File > New Project > Existing Directory > Browse > ~/ECREEE
- Open RStudio
- Create a "New Project"
- Select "Existing Directory"
- Navigate to the github repository or ZIP file that you just created.
Then, from the "Files" pane on the bottom right of the RStudio interface, select from the following tutorials:
- ECREEE_R_Training_1.Rmd (R Basic Training)
- ECREEE_R_Training_2.Rmd (Engineering Analysis with R: A Few Practical Examples)
Now you're all set to get started!
