Into the tidyverse with the introverse: Accessible and novice-oriented help for getting started with R and data science

(Note: This package is not affiliated with RStudio or the tidyverse, but their CC0 hex-stickers are simply fantastic.)

The {introverse} package provides alternate documentation for commonly-used functions and concepts in Base R and in the tidyverse. The provided resources are meant to complement, not replace official documentation and existing R resources. Therefore, the goal of the {introverse} is to provide beginner-oriented help for most introductory topics within R and the tidyverse, not to provide comprehensive help about using all of R. We hope {introverse} can help you (and/or your students!) get up-and-running within R and the tidyverse, so that once you get your bearings you can eventually “graduate” from the {introverse} and take advantage of the official comprehensive documentation/resources.

Obtaining the {introverse}

All {introverse} help docs are available online here, or via command line as a package in RStudio as described below.

Step 1: Install the package

First, install the {introverse} package by copy/pasting this code into an R Console. You only need to run this once!

remotes::install_github("sjspielman/introverse")

If you run this line of code and receive the error, > Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘remotes’

This error means you first need to install the {remotes} package to be able to install the {introverse}. Copy/paste the line of code below into an R Console, and then try the code remotes::install_github("sjspielman/introverse") again.

install.packages("remotes") 

If you did not receive that error, {introverse} has been installed properly.

Step 2: Load the package.

Now that the {introverse} is installed, you are ready to use it! From the R Console, load the package with the code. After you run this, you will be greeted with a welcome prompt that tells you some basic usage of the {introverse}. Remember to load the package again for every R session you want to use it during!
