This package is a learnr demo built for the West Michigan R Users Group meeting at Big Data Ignite 2017. It is meant to introduce R to a user with some background in coding but who has had little to no experience with R per se.

You can install and run the tutorial from your R session. You can download R at https://cran.r-project.org/.

I recommend using an integrated development environment (IDE) to help making coding easier and streamline development of projects. Most people I know use RStudio. You can get it at https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/.

The devtools package must be installed in order to install the tutorial. devtools can be installed for free from CRAN by pasting the following code in the Console of your R session and pressing Enter:

install.packages("devtools")

Afterwards, you can then install this package by pasting the code below into the R Console and pressing Enter again:

devtools::install_github("pegeler/YARD")

Once the package is installed, it can be run from your machine by typing the following into your Console and pressing Enter

learnr::run_tutorial("YARD", "YARD")

A browser will be brought up that will contain the tutorial.
