- Download and install the latest version of R for Windows.
- Download and install RStudio Desktop.
- Open the RStudio application. Copy and paste the following command into the Console window (look for a blinking cursor) and press Enter:
install.packages("tidyverse")
- R will attempt to install the Tidyverse packages on your machine. When the installation process has finished, copy and paste the following command into the Console window and press Enter:
library(tidyverse)
If you do not see an error like there is no package called '...'
you are good to go!
Note for administrators of shared lab computers: If you are installing R on a shared computer, you may need to run the installer as administrator (right-click on .exe file and select "Run as administrator" instead of double-clicking) or take other actions to ensure that all users can run R.
