Installing R and Rstudio
If you will be participating in one of our training workshops (or teaching yourself using our online materials), you’ll need to download the software as described on this page. We recommend working with the most recent versions. So even if you already have installed some of the software required, consider updating it if newer versions are available.

Rstudio also offers a free version. Rstudio is recommended, but not required, to access R and the statnet software.
