#' Using R to Install Stuff (Such As: R, Rtools, RStudio, Git, and More!)
#' 
#' R is great for installing software.  Through the 'installr'
#' package you can automate the updating of R (on Windows, using updateR())
#' and install new software. Software installation is initiated through a
#' GUI (just run installr()), or through functions such as: install.Rtools(),
#' install.pandoc(), install.git(), and many more. The updateR() command
#' performs the following: finding the latest R version, downloading it,
#' running the installer, deleting the installation file, copy and updating
#' old packages to the new R installation.
