R You Ready?

This repository contains the two files used in the demonstration of R Markdown for the July 25th R You Ready Sage Webinar. To try opening and using this file, follow these steps:

1. Download and install R from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (the CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org).
2. Download and install the free Desktop version of RStudio from the RStudio website (https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/).
3. Download two files from this repository, R-you-ready-demo.Rmd and dist_ssp_amfar_ch9.csv, and save them together in the same folder. You can do this by using the green download button in the top right corner of the file window to download a ZIP file containing both (you'll have to unzip it!) or by clicking on each file separately and downloading.
4. Open RStudio.
5. Use the File menu in RStudio to open the R-you-ready-demo.Rmd file you saved from wherever you saved it.
6. As the file opens it may prompt you to install tidyverse, do this! If it does not prompt you to install tidyverse, go to the Tools menu, choose Install Packages..., type tidyverse in the dialog box that opens, and click Install to install it. You'll see a bunch of code while R installs the package.
7. Click "Knit" at the top of the window that shows all the R code, it has a tiny blue ball of yarn next to it.

A new windown should open containing the slides!

Congratulations, you just knit your first R Markdown slides document. Play around with the file to see what you can figure out. :-)

Enjoy!
