We will be using RStudio Cloud for the workshop, but if you would like to install the required packages and course materials, we have an R package called {causalworkshop} to help you do that! You can install {causalworkshop} from GitHub with:
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("malcolmbarrett/causalworkshop")Once you’ve installed the package, install the workshop with
causalworkshop::install_workshop()By default, this package downloads the materials to a conspicuous place
like your Desktop. You can also tell install_workshop() exactly where
to put the materials:
causalworkshop::install_workshop("a/path/on/your/computer")| Time | Activity |
