Preparations

To make the workshop run smoothly, you need to have a couple of programs installed on your own computer. I’m assuming that you have a Windows computer.

R and RStudio

If you haven’t got R and RStudio installed already, download and install from:

• R: https://cran.rstudio.com/
• RStudio: https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download3/

git and SourceTree

git

• Follow instructions at http://happygitwithr.com/install-git.html#windows (Option 1)
  • Install Git for Windows (previously known as ‘mysysgit’ or ‘Git Bash’):
    • https://git-for-windows.github.io/
    • Download and Run installer
      • Choose the default settings when stepping through the installer
        • Default selection of Components
        • “Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt”
        • “Checkout Win style, Commit Unix style”
        • “Use MinTTY”
        • “Enable file system caching”
        • Click install

SourceTree

• Go to https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/
  • Click the Download for Windows button, and Run installer
    • Note! When testing on 7 Nov, the downloaded installer file did not have an .exe file ending. If you also encounter this problem, rename the downloaded file so that it ends with .exe and double-click.
    • Choose the default location
    • Install .Net Framework pre-req if suggested
  • Select Launch SourceTree, and click the Finish button
    • Check the box for license agreement
    • Click Go to My Atlassian to register an Atlassian account - then log in
    • Skip Connect an account
    • Mercurial not found - select Download an embedded version…
    • You might be asked some more questions
      • “Install tools” - select defaults
      • “Install global .ignore file” - Yes
      • “Load SSH key?” - Cancel
