Get R
R is the “engine” we use for data analytics. It can be run stand-alone and even comes with a rudimentary editor.
Get RStudio
RStudio is a brilliant editor for R. Has tools for writing scripts, viewing plots, making packages, and supports several programming languages that an R developer might also use.

The R consortium’s R user group support program
By framing the study group as a useR group, we may achieve some benefits over a more assorted interest group.
- The R consortium offers a support program which offers grants from US $ 150 and paying for meetup.com groups, e.g. Rhus-useR-group.
- “useR” is a recognized brand.
