Chapter 2 Getting started

Before we can start with the analysis described in the later chapters, we have to install “R”. Therefore the first two parts of this chapter get you up and running with downloading and installing the relevant software and packages.

This may seem laborious, but it is necessary and easier than it appears at first glance.

If you already have “R” and “R Studio” installed, please take a look at the redutils package on github, which is frequently used throughout this book. Chapter 2.2 shows you how to install it.
