Getting Lab 1

  • First create a new folder called lab1 in your LastnameFirstname folder by clicking the New Folder button in the Files tab in the lower right of RStudio

  • To obtain the lab, copy the following R code into the Console:

      file.copy(from = "/shared/isma5720@pacificu.edu/lab1.Rmd",
            to = "/home/EMAIL/LastnameFirstname/lab1")

    where EMAIL is your Pacific email (mine is isma5720@pacificu.edu) and LastnameFirstname is where you have shared your RStudio project with me (mine is IsmayChester).

  • You now can work on the lab1.Rmd file and save your results there.
