  • It also uses R to improve the efficiency of online advertising.
Web browser

https://www.r-project.org/

Let us now see the homepage of R.

This is the homepage of the R Project for Statistical Computing.

Highlight download R on the home page Here, we can download R.
Highlight About R on the right side of the home page Under the R Project section, click on About R.

This will tell us more about R and its environment.

I will scroll down the page.
Highlight Getting Help on the right side of the home page Under the section Help With R, click on Getting Help to know how to get help.
Highlight the Terminal on your computer Now we will see the command line interface of R.

I have already installed R on my machine. So, I will launch R from the terminal.

Press Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard.

Highlight the Terminal.

Type R in the terminal.

Press Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard to open a terminal window.

Now, in the terminal, type capital R and press Enter.

Highlight R command-line interface The command-line interface of R opens.

In the terminal, scroll up.

Notice that R version 3.4.4 is installed on my machine.

Now, scroll down.

Highlight R command-line interface Here, we can type the commands to be executed in R.

As an example, we’ll evaluate the value of 10 raised to the power of 0.1.

R console:

Type 10^0.1

Type 10 carat sign 0.1 and press Enter.
Highlight the value in the Terminal The expected value is being displayed on the R terminal window.
Now, we will learn about RStudio.
Show slide

About RStudio

  • RStudio is an integrated development environment for R.
  • It includes a console and an editor.
  • It provides tools for plotting, debugging and workspace management.
Web browser

https://rstudio.com/

Let us now see the homepage of RStudio.

There is a lot of information about RStudio on this page.

You can go through it in detail, later.

Now let’s get familiar with the RStudio interface.

I have already installed RStudio on my machine.

So, I will launch RStudio using the terminal.

Highlight the Terminal

Type rstudio and press Enter.

Press Ctrl + Alt + T keys together to open a new terminal window.

In the terminal, type rstudio and press Enter.

Highlight the Console Window RStudio is launched.

In the bottom left panel of RStudio, we can see the Console window.

In the Console, R is waiting for us to type a command.

Let us draw a simple pie chart.

RStudio

pie(1:5)

In the Console window, type p i e and in parentheses one colon five.

Press Enter.

Highlight the pie chart in the Plots window The expected pie chart is generated in the Plots window.
Highlight Environment and History window Apart from this, we have Environment and History tabs.

Here all the used variables and commands are stored.

Highlight Files window.


Point to the current working directory.

In the bottom right panel of RStudio, we have the Files tab.

Click on the Files tab.

It shows the current working directory.

We will learn about other tabs later in this series.

Let’s now have a look at the content that will be covered in the R series.
