To participate in this {% if page.carpentry == "swc" %} Software Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "dc" %} Data Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "lc" %} Library Carpentry {% endif %} workshop, you will need access to the software described below.

We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.
R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.
Install R by downloading and running this .exe file from CRAN. Also, please install the RStudio IDE. Note that if you have separate user and admin accounts, you should run the installers as administrator (right-click on .exe file and select "Run as administrator" instead of double-clicking). Otherwise problems may occur later, for example when installing R packages.
Install R by downloading and running this .pkg file from CRAN. Also, please install the RStudio IDE.
You can download the binary files for your distribution
from CRAN. Or
you can use your package manager (e.g. for Debian/Ubuntu
run sudo apt-get install r-base and for Fedora run
sudo dnf install R). Also, please install the
RStudio IDE.
We will use several R packages in the course, which you can install before the course.
To install the packages open RStudio and on the upper menu go to "Tools > Install Packages".
In the box that opens type tidyverse, gridExtra, dbplyr, RSQLite, RMySQL
