How to install R and Rstudio

Many students ask me how to install R. I will give you the step-by-step here. Go to https://cran.r-project.org/. Then you will see several installation options for Windows, Linux and macOS. In the case of Windows, click on the link and then on base, which installs the basic packages. There you go. I like to use RStudio together with R. Then you go to https://www.rstudio.com/. There you download RStudio. You can use this link that downloads the free version: https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download. Install RStudio and you're done. You will always use R from Rstudio.
