If so, unfortunately you will need to find a different computer to use, as R and RStudio will not run on a Chrome Book. If you don’t know if you have a Linux operating system, unless you are borrowing someone else’s computer, then the chances of you having a Linux computer are small.
If you are a computer novice there are three major operating systems: Windows, Mac, and Linux. One of the most important things you need to do before starting to work with R is identify your operating system as it will change what you will download and install on your computer. The history is not important for the purposes of this blog post.
If you are curious about the history of R as a programming language the Wikipedia page is also a good place to start ( (programming_language) ). The base language has been around for quite some time (around 1997, see ) and is designed to allow anyone to write instructions to perform specific actions (called packages) which are generally freely downloadable and can be used by anyone. R is a great language to answer statistical questions. Either you are a student who is told that you must use RStudio for class or you are someone who has a statistical question you want an answer for (either for yourself or someone else) and want to know how to get the answer without spending a lot of time and money to get it.
If you are reading this post then you are tasked with learning how to use R and/or RStudio to perform statistics.
