 Hi everyone, it's MJ and welcome back to this course on R. In this video, we're gonna look at how to install R as well as RStudio. And we're gonna have a little walkthrough on how to do it, but let's first look at the various steps. So the first step is we need to visit the following website. Once we're in this website, we then need to click on a link that corresponds to your region. Once you've done that, you choose your operating system. And you're gonna see I choose the Mac. We then click the latest package to download, which is R4.0.3 at the time of recording, although notes a later version might be available for you. You then open the package on your computer, you follow the installation steps, and then you install RStudio by clicking on the following link. But what we're gonna be doing now is actually walking through this process. And, Jack, let me know if you need any more help in getting this thing installed. So I mean, if you had to just go to Google and type in R, you should get the R project for statistical computing. You can click on that and you can see the homepage isn't the most user-friendly, but you wanna click on C-R-A-N. And now this stands for the Comprehensive R Archive Networks. And what we wanna do is we wanna select the one that's closest to our region. So for me, fortunately, there is one for South Africa. So I simply click on this one here. You'll choose that one. And then what you wanna do is pick your operating system. So I've got a Mac, so I'm going with that. Then again, there's a lot of links, and you're like, well, which one do I choose? You wanna choose this one over here. And essentially, when you're watching this video, you might see our 4.0.5 or 4.1. something else. That's just gonna be the latest version. And it's always a good, good practice to have the latest one downloaded. So keep your R updated. Then you'll see in the bottom corner, it has finished installing. Once you've got the install, you wanna click on it. And what it'll do is you can then just go through the installation guide. So there's an introduction, there's the read me, there's the license, then you just click agree. Make sure you read it, though. We all know that you have to read it. I'm not gonna finish with the installation types and stuff because I already do have it, but it'll take around 169 megabytes of space on your computer. Then once you have got R installed, you also wanna get something called RStudio. Then you can come back to Google and type in RStudio, and you'll get the very first one over here. You wanna click throughout the top, there is a button called download. And then again, you wanna choose your version. I mean, the free version is more than enough. And then you simply click this button over here and you will download RStudio, which again, I have already done. So let's open RStudio and see what it looks like. And what we're gonna be doing in the later video is discussing what each of these four corners do. But in the very next video, we're gonna look at how to install packages in R. And then we're gonna come back to this and familiarize ourselves with this interface. Anyway, thank you so much for watching. And I will see you in the next video.
