In altaf-ali/tidydata_tutorial: Data Manipulation in R

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of working with datasets in R is essential. This course assumes that you're comfortable with reading datasets, working with script files, and navigating in RStudio.

Software Requirements

R and RStudio

Recent versions of R (version 3.2 or newer) and RStudio (version 1.0 above) are required.

You can download the latest versions from the links below:

• Download R
• Download RStudio

You can find out the version of R installed by typing version at the console:

version

Required Packages

This workshop relies on three packages: dplyr, tidyr, and readr. There are two ways to install these packages:

Option 1: Use tidyverse

You can either install these two packages individually or use tidyverse. The tidyverse package is a collection of packages used for data manipulation and visualization. In addition to dplyr, tidyr, and readr, it also includes the following:

tidyverse::tidyverse_packages()

You can install tidyverse using the install.packages() function:

install.packages("tidyverse")

You can find out the version of tidyverse installed using the packageVersion() function:

packageVersion("tidyverse")

To update tidyverse packages, you can use the tidyverse_update() function:

tidyverse::tidyverse_update()

Option 2: Install Individual Packages

If you encounter any problems installing tidyverse, then the other option is to install dplyr, tidyr, and readr individually.

install.packages("dplyr")
install.packages("tidyr")
install.packages("readr")
