Preparations

⌨️ Do

  • Log in to Cornell’s GitHub at https://github.coecis.cornell.edu/. You already have an account created based on your Cornell NetID.
  • One of the following:

    • Access RStudio Workbench using your Cornell NetID and password

      Click the “New Session” button on the top of the page. Leave all the settings on their default state and click “Start Session”. If this is your first time accessing RStudio Workbench for the course, it may take a couple of minutes to prepare your session. Please be patient. When you start a session in the future, your container will already be prepared and it should start within 15 seconds.

    • Install R/RStudio/Git locally.
