R Studio Basics for Data Visualization: RStudio Cloud

For the R Studio Data Visualizaton Workshops, November 2018

Getting started with RStudio Cloud

1. Make an account. You can do this by logging in with an existing lclark.edu email.

2. Create a New Project. (You can also create new Workspaces to share with other users.)

3. Install the tidyverse package with this code:

install.packages("tidyverse")

Note: Many lines of red text will then appear telling you about the installation. This is supposed to happen!

4. Now run the package with this code:

library(tidyverse)

This lets you use the specific function called ggplot.

Note: The tidyverse package is updated frequently. You can update with this code: tidyverse_update()
