Course Software
This page lists all the software we’ll be using in class.
You should install and set everything here before the first day of class.
- Install / setup these tools:
- Slack: You can find a sign up link on the announcement in Blackboard.
- Install the Slack app on your phone and Turn notifications on!
- Some tools we’ll use will require that you be on the GW network. You
can do that by installing the “Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client” software and
loggin in to GW’s VPN. Here’s how to do that:
- Install Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client
- Follow these instructions to log on to the VPN with your GW NetID
- Install the latest version of R and RStudio:
- Download and install R (version 4.0.2 or higher)
- Download and install RStudio (Desktop version)
We will always work in RStudio, so be careful to open RStudio and not the default R application that comes with R:
| Open this | Not this! |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- You’ll need to install some R packages in RStudio that we will use throughout the semester. To do so, open RStudio then copy-paste this code into the console and press Return. This will install all the packages listed in the file.
That’s it - you’re all set for class!
