Downloading and Installing R & RStudio for Windows

OFFSCREEN NARRATOR: Hi. In this video,
I'm going to show you how you can download

and install R and RStudio
on your Windows computer.

So you will go ahead
and open up a web browser.

Mine is Google Chrome.

And you will go to the website,
"r-project.org."

You will go ahead
and click the "download R" link.

And this is where you will select
your CRAN Mirror, or,

where R will be downloaded from.

So, pick the location
that is closest to you.

So, I'm here in the United States.

So I will scroll down
to the United States.

Or you can always do this cloud one,
and that'll work just fine as well.

Go ahead and click
"Download R for Windows".

And click "install R for the first time."

And then hit "Download R,"
and then whatever version number.

This might be updated by the time
you watch this video.

R is continually updating.

So, as long as you're just getting
the most recent one that's on this page,

that's what's most important.

That'll go ahead and start downloading.

And once it is all downloaded,

go ahead and open up the file.

Alright, go ahead and go through
the installation process,

accepting all of these defaults.

Hopefully, it shouldn't take too long.

If you want, while we're waiting,

we can go to the website
where we can download RStudio.

So you can go ahead
and go to "rstudio.com."

And then,

we will wait here until we're ready.

Okay. And now it has been set up.

Go ahead and click "Finish."

So now you have downloaded
and installed R.

So now let's go ahead
and download and install RStudio.

So at RStudio.com,
click the "Download" button.

And choose
the RStudio Desktop free version.

We do not need you to pay for this.

Go ahead,

make sure you already have R installed,
which we do.

And go ahead and click this button
to install RStudio for Windows.

Okay.

Go ahead and open that up as well.

And then you'll

also go through and accept
all the defaults as well.

And install RStudio.

I'll go ahead and take a pause real quick

just while this, installs
so, you don't have to sit here and wait.

Alright, my RStudio is just about done.

Oh. It's done.

Perfect. Go ahead and click "Finish".

Okay.

Should be able to go ahead
and come to your start menu

and search for RStudio.

And when you open up RStudio,
it should look something like this.

Or even just like this.

If you've gotten to this point,
this is great.

That means R and RStudio are working
great on your computer.

Alright. See you in the next video.
