Authors:

Last Updated: Oct 7, 2020

R and RStudio

Once R and RStudio are installed (in Install Git, Bash Shell, R & RStudio ), open RStudio to make sure it works and you don’t get any error messages. Then, install the needed R packages.

Install/Update R Packages

Please make sure all of these packages are installed and up to date on your computer prior to the Institute.

install.packages(c("raster", "rasterVis", "rgdal", "rgeos", "rmarkdown", "knitr", "plyr", "dplyr", "ggplot2", "plotly"))
The rhdf5 package is not on CRAN and must be downloaded directly from Bioconductor. The can be done using these two commands directly in your R console.
- #install.packages("BiocManager")
- #BiocManager::install("rhdf5")
