Download Files

The easiest way to download the files for this workshop is to click on the green code button near the middle of the screen (click on code on the upper left to return to the code screen from this Wiki). Select Download ZIP; this will download all of the materials in a zip file. Unzip the file and put these files in your R directory for the workshop.

Directories and Folders

This will be covered early in the workshop, but as you prepare, it is necessary to place all of your files in the same directory. We highly recommend making a R directory that is easily accessible. Within that R directory, create a directory for this workshop. Put all of your files in this directory. Note: a folder is the same thing as a directory, it just varies by operating system but often the terms are used interchangeably. When you name your directories, do not use spaces; while many operating systems allow spaces, this can make it difficult to locate files later on as your use of R expands. The easiest thing is to avoid them from the start!
