Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to carefully explain how to download and install R together with R-studio, which is the front-end I’ll be using. This chapter will teach you how to run and compile basic calculations, create some basic functions, and plot some basic figures. If you are already familiar with and/or have worked with R-studio, then you can skip ahead to the next chapter.
