Setup instructions

1. Install R from https://cran.rstudio.com/
2. Install Rstudio from https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download
3. Install Tidyverse from Rstudio:
   • Open Rstudio
   • Look for a window that says 'console' (probably bottom left of your screen).
   • In the console, type: install.packages("tidyverse"), then hit 'enter'.
   • In case the question Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) pops up, answer no.
4. Finally, confirm that tidyverse is installed:
   • Find the 'console' window, and type: library(tidyverse), then hit 'enter'.
   • You should see something that looks like this:
