If you have never used git with Rstudio, *we strongly advise that you
follow the [[https://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/14-supplemental-rstudio/index.html][step-by-step explanations from Software Carpentry]]*. It comes
with many screenshots and is quite progressive. Alternatively, you
may want to watch this video:

#+END_EXPORT

The next sections provide information on how to install Rstudio. Before
proceeding, make sure you have read the "Git and GitLab" instructions.

Finally, you need to know that the Rstudio team has created a lot of
very good material and tutorials. You should definitively look at the
[[https://www.rstudio.com/resources/cheatsheets/][Cheat sheets webpage]]. In particular you want to have look at the ones
on:
- [[https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/master/rstudio-ide.pdf][The Rstudio IDE]],
- [[https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/master/rmarkdown-2.0.pdf][R Markdown]] (here is also a [[https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/][nice step-by-step presentation of Rmarkdown]]),
- The [[https://www.rstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/rmarkdown-reference.pdf][R Markdown Reference guide]],
- [[https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/master/data-visualization-2.1.pdf][Data visualization with ggplot2]],
- [[https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/master/data-transformation.pdf][Data transformation with dplyr]]

In case it helps, here are some (sometimes outdated) French versions
of these documents:

* Installing Rstudio
** Linux (debian, ubuntu)
We provide here only instructions for debian-based distributions. Feel
free to contribute to this document to provide up-to-date information
for other distributions (e.g., redhat, fedora).

Today, the stable versions of the most common distributions provide
recent enough versions of emacs and org-mode:
- Debian (stretch) ships with [[https://packages.debian.org/stretch/r-base][R 3.3.3-1]], [[https://packages.debian.org/stretch/r-cran-knitr][knitr 1.15.1]], and  [[https://packages.debian.org/stretch/r-cran-ggplot2][ggplot 2.2.1]]
- Ubuntu (bionic 18.04) ships with [[https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/r-base][R 3.4.4]], and [[https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/r-cran-knitr][knitr 1.17]], and [[https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/r-cran-ggplot2][ggplot 2.2.1]]
- Ubuntu (artful 17.04) ships with [[https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/r-base][R 3.4.2]], and [[https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/r-cran-knitr][knitr 1.15]], and [[https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/r-cran-ggplot2][ggplot 2.2.1]]
If your distribution is older than this, well, it may be a good time
for upgrading...

*** Installing R
Beforehand, you need to install the R language and convenient packages
by running (as root):
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install r-base r-cran-knitr r-cran-ggplot2 
#+END_SRC

Alternatively, if the installation of =r-cran-gplot2= or =r-cran-knitr=
fails, you may want to install them locally (through the R packaging
system) and manually by running the following commands in R (or
Rstudio):
#+BEGIN_SRC R
install.packages("knitr")
install.packages("ggplot2")
#+END_SRC

If you plan to export pdf documents with LaTeX, you probably also want
to run (as root):
#+begin_src sh :results output :exports both
apt-get update ; apt-get install texlive-base
#+end_src

*** Installing rstudio
Rstudio is unfortunately not packaged within debian so the easiest is
to download the corresponding debian package on the [[https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download][Rstudio webpage]]
and then to install it manually (depending on when you do this, you
can obviously change the version number). Here is how to install it:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
cd /tmp/
wget https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -f install # to fix possibly missing dependencies
#+END_SRC
** Mac OSX and Windows
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  Some instructions on installing R and knitr must be missing. This
  should be tested and improved.
#+END_QUOTE
Download and install rstudio from the [[https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download][Rstudio webpage]] by choosing the
right operating system.

Then open Rstudio and type the following commands in the console to
install knitr and ggplot2:
#+BEGIN_SRC R
install.packages("knitr")
install.packages("ggplot2")
#+END_SRC
