The Windows 10 installation of R has never been easier. For Linux, you can download R for different distributions here.In the instance when one server location might fail, there are plenty of backups in participating countries and locations. This project gives you access to a system of servers across the world maintaining these versions. The official website to download the most updated and maintained R versions and packages is called. In the class, I will use RStudio.You should never install R from 3rd party websites or from websites you don’t trust. You are free to use the editor of your choice. Optionally, there is a number of other text editors, which can be associated with R, e.g. The workaround is to open the original R drawing panel - just type windows () into the console, and new active window will open (you can move it around the screen, or right-click on it by mouse and select “Stay on top” to keep it as the top window always visible on your screen). One thing I found a bit not handy is RStudio's native graphical output - it offers its own unique sizeable graphical output into one of the subpanels (usually the bottom-right one), but it sometimes produces troubles (especially in case when you draw more complex figures). RStudio is a convenient software, which combines R program with text editor and graphical user interface (and offers much more, like organization of scripts and outputs into a projects within single folder, and for advanced users also convenient building of packages, document markup etc.).

If you already have RStudio installed in your computer, please check whether you have the latest version and update if you don't (in RStudio menu, go to Help > Check for Updates).
