Setting Up for the Workshop

This workshop is set up to be largely language-agnostic (at least with regard to programming language). We will provide examples (as necessary) using ggplot2 in R and seaborn or matplotlib in python.

Screenshots will be provided using RStudio as an IDE for both R and Python, but you are free to use any IDE you wish for this workshop.

Setting Up R, RStudio, and ggplot2

Start here - Instructions for installing R and RStudio for Windows, Mac, and Linux

Open R or RStudio. Follow these instructions to install ggplot2 (or the whole tidyverse, if you prefer).

If you also plan to use python with RStudio, install the reticulate package after you have installed python.

Setting Up Python, Seaborn, and Matplotlib

Start here - Instructions for installing Python 3 for Windows, Mac, and Linux

If you wish, install a development environment such as VSCode or Spyder, or install R and RStudio to use RStudio as an IDE for python.

Install Seaborn, which will automatically install matplotlib.
