getting-started-wehoop.RmdWelcome folks,
I’m Saiem Gilani, one of the authors of wehoop,
and I hope to give the community a high-quality resource for accessing
women’s basketball data for statistical analysis, basketball research,
and more. I am excited to show you some of what you can do with this
edition of the package.
Installing R and RStudio
- Head to https://cran.r-project.org
- Select the appropriate link for your operating system (Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux)
- Windows - Select base and download the most recent version
- Mac OS X - Select Latest Release, but check to make sure your OS is the correct version. Look through Binaries for Legacy OS X Systems if you are on an older release
- Linux - Select the appropriate distro and follow the installation instructions
- Head to Posit.co
- Follow the associated download and installation instructions for RStudio.
- Start peering over the RStudio IDE Cheatsheet. An IDE is an integrated development environment.
- For Windows users: I recommend you install Rtools. This is not an R package! It is “a collection of resources for building packages for R under Microsoft Windows, or for building R itself”. Go to https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and follow the directions for installation.
