In swirl: Learn R, in R

Description

Version 2.4 of swirl introduces a new, simple, and fast way of installing courses in the form of .swc files. This function allows a user to grab a .swc file from The swirl Course Network which is maintained by Team swirl, or the user can use this function to install a local .swc file. When using this function please only provide an argument for either course_name or swc_path, never both.

Usage

install_course(course_name = NULL, swc_path = NULL, force = FALSE)

Arguments

course_name	The name of the course you wish to install.
swc_path	The path to a local .swc file. By default this argument defaults to file.choose() so the user can select the file using their mouse.
force	Should course installation be forced? The default value is FALSE.
