Pre-workshop instructions

If you're interested playing along during the workshop:

  1. Install R and Rstudio on your laptop.
  2. Next, install a version of Git for your OS and a Git gui to go along with it. [Windows, OSX, more clients]. While you're in Git mode, also sign up for a free account on GitHub (so you can have remote copies/backups of your work and easily collaborate with other scientists.)
  3. Once you have Git and Github installed, set up the configuration to link your local machine to the cloud (just a one-time thing).
  4. Finally, install a couple of our packages that we will demo during the workshop:
    install.packages('devtools')
install.packages('rplos')
install.packages('treebase')
  5. Put a We put birds on things, and develop tools for science on it.
  6. That's it! Drop us a line if you have any trouble. We look forward to seeing you there.
