🛠 Machine Setup

Welcome! Prior to attending the seminar talk, please ensure you have done the following.

1. Install R and RStudio

Download both software at https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/.
Once the download completes, double-click on the .exe file to run the installer. Simply follow the steps of the installer to finish.

Note: These are two different softwares, so please ensure you have installed both of them. For more detailed guideline, visit link.

2. Download Workshop material

Visit https://github.com/haziqj/aiti-talk on your search engine.
Press on the green code icon on top right.
Option 1: Open with Github Desktop and clone the repo onto a convenient location on your computer.
Option 2: Download the zip file and unzip onto a convenient location on your computer.
Click on aiti-talk.Rproj to open the project in RStudio.

3. ⁠Install all packages

Launch Rstudio app directly. It will look something like:

Note: Previously, we installed both R (language) and Rstudio (IDE). However, all coding can be done in just Rstudio.

Install the following R packages by running the following code in the console pane:

install.packages(c(
  "tidyverse", 
  "tinyplot",
  "sf",
  "bruneimap",
  "tidytext",
  "tm",
  "wordcloud",
  "gtsummary",
  "devtools",
  "scales",
  "mvtnorm",
  "titanic",
  "ggthemes",
  "viridis",
  "ggrepel",
  "RColorBrewer"
))

devtools::install_github("haleyjeppson/ggmosaic")

4. Ready to start! 🥳

Quick Tips

To work on long chunks of codes, it is recommended to use the source pane by creating a R Script.
To create a R Script: File > New File > R Script
To run code: press Ctrl + Enter (Windows) or Cmd + Enter (Mac). Alternatively, press run icon (top right) of the source pane.
To load libraries for additional functions, run the codes in source pane:

library(tidyverse)
library(ggplot2)

Try it out!

print("Hello, World!")

[1] "Hello, World!"

plot(pressure)

From simple printing to complex visualisation, possibilities are now limitless, Happy coding!
