A quick check of the pre-requisites

Questions

  • Have you registered for a github account?
  • Have you installed Git?
  • Have you installed R? Do you have the latest version?
  • Have you installed RStudio? Do you have the latest version?


If you can answer all of the above questions as YES, you are all set to go. Else please go back and refer to Set-up tabs or ask help to one of us.

As the first step you will need a test repository on GitHub. Let’s create a test repository and work with it for the purpose of this masterclass.

Key points

  • Failures related to installations due to trivial (or not so trivial) problems are not uncommon - both due to an individuals operating system or even their computer!
  • If you have been unlucky to be one of those who are stuck due to such installation/setup related issues, please contact us after the session and we will try and identify the problem(s).
