Hello!
For the correct functioning of the R Programming Language and to make the most of
our time in the class, we ask that you install the 02 (two) software:
Language R, version 4.1.1: [Link]
RStudio, version 1.4,1717: [Link]
The first app will effectively allow your computer to understand the R language; the
second is an integrated development environment for the R language – it can be said to be
an enabler.
ATTENTION: if you already have the R language installed on your computer, but you
indeed are a beginner, we reinforce the need to install the [Link] version. This version is
‘smarter’ than previous versions, more easily recognizing possible categorical variables in a
database. If you are looking at this course as an update, we ask that you use at least version
3.6.1.
INSTALLING R LANGUAGE
When entering the page [Link] we must click “CRAN”, according to
the figure below:
After that, we must choose which server we will download the R language from. Take,
for example, a mirror from USP:
University of São Paulo – USP

Next, we must choose which Operating System your machine will use to install the R
language:
For Windows users: click on “base”, right after on “Download R 4.1.1 for Windows”.
Execute the downloaded file and install it as usual, with the default settings;
For Mac users: click on “[Link]”. Install the application as usual, with the
standard configurations;
For Linux users: check if the adopted distribution already has R installed
– e.g.: Debian, RedHat [Fedora], Suse [OpenSuse], Ubuntu. If not, follow the
instructions on the link: [Link]
INSTALLING RSTUDIO
On the page [Link] we must click on “Download”:
University of São Paulo – USP
Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture
After that, we must roll the page down and click on “Download” of the Free version.
Next, we must click on the link corresponding to the version of the Operational System
to be used.
After the download is finished, the file must be installed, as usual, keeping the default
settings.
Best wishes!
