What is R Programming Course?

R is a programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. R was originally created as part of the Statistical Analysis Program (SAP) at the University of Cambridge, England, in 1994 by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman.

What are some basics about using R?

Below are some basic tips for getting started with R Programming Course:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the interactive command line interface (CLI), which can be accessed via Terminal on your computer or an online console such as R console . The CLI offers a number of helpful options for working with data files and scripts.
  2. Install the R software package from CRAN, which provides a variety of utilities and libraries for working with data, graphics, and statistics. To install R on your computer:
  • For Windows: Click here to download the installer. Run the installer file ( exe ) to start using R Programming Course on your computer.

  • For Macintosh: In addition to downloading and installing the standalone application, you can also use Apple's Package Manager tool or another third-party package manager such as Homebrew. Once installed, launch Terminal by opening Preferences in macOS Sierra 10.12 or later and clicking on the Applications tab. In Terminal, type install. Packages ("R") and press Enter.

  • For Linux: Run the installation script found in /usr/local/bin or wherever your R installation directory is located. You may need to execute sudo before running this command depending on your system's configuration.

    1. Once you have installed R, you can start using it by navigating to its home folder ( for example , C:\Program Files\R ) and typing ./configure followed by make && make install to compile and install the software package . After installing R, you can find the program in your computer's search path (usually C:\Program Files\R).
    2. To work with datafiles, you need to specify the location of the file and its format. You can open a datafile by typing ./data/<filename> or by using one of R's many convenient interfaces, such as RStudio , which provides a graphical user interface for working with data files.
    3. If you want to develop scripts or programs that use R, be sure to familiarize yourself with its basic syntax and functions. For more information on scripting and programming in R, see the help pages of the R command-line interface or one of the many comprehensive books available on the subject.
    4. Windows: To install and use R, you can download the software from http://www.r-project.org/ or use Microsoft's Windows "Package Manager" tool to install it on your computer. Once installed, launch the executable by typing R at a command prompt (or using Start -> All Programs -> R -> R ). R is a powerful statistical programming language and software package.
    5. Go to www.r-project.org and click the Download R link on the homepage
    6. In the "Downloads" window, select your preferred language (for example, English) and click Open
    7. Double-click on the downloaded file (e .g., r-release_9 . 0 - x86_64 . zip )
    8. Extract all of its contents to a new folder named for your operating system (e .g., C : \Program Files\R )
    9. Alternatively, you can run R from within Windows by right-clicking on the R icon in your Windows Start menu and selecting Run as Administrator
    10. In the R console window, enter: ## install. Packages ("devtools") ## to install the development tools (including support for datafiles)
