R is a free software environment and a language. R is commonly used for statistics, data handling and analysis, and visualization. You can download R from The Comprehensive R Archive Network: https://cran.r-project.org
R Studio is an “integrated development environment”, or IDE, for R. This is a fancy way to say “software that has tools to help you use R”. R Studio is not required for this course, but if you are unfamiliar with R it will likely make your life easier. As of October 13, 2020 , the version of R studio is 1.3.1093 and you can download it from here: https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/
Here are some helpful tutorials if you have trouble
