Set Up for the Workshop

In this workshop we will be introducing you to some of the GIS-style capabilities of R and basic introduction to spatial models. We will, also, introduce you to acquiring spatial data online with a focus on US Census data. To use the tutorials and other material we will use a combination of R, RStudio, and Github.

R, RStudio and Github.

• To start open up (or download) RStudio
• Next, go to File->New Project
  
• Select Version Control -> Git
  
• Type in https://github.com/zalmquist/neighborhoods.git and use SAP for the project name. I recommend saving the project on your Desktop.
  
• The result should look something like this!
