Installing Radiant

You can download and install Radiant from here:

https://radiant-rstats.github.io/docs/install.html

Important

NOTE: This automatically installs R, RStudio, and Radiant on your machine. This is going to be convenient when we start working in R too!

It also installs Latex, which allows us to create crisp PDF reports of our analyses.

The version of R may not be the latest one, though…
