Before the workshop...

We ask that you arrive at the workshop with your computer running the most current version of R and RStudio.

Here is a tutorial on how to make sure you are running the newest version of R. On RStudio, click Check for Updates under the Help dropdown menu. Update RStudio if needed.

You'll need to install several packages for this workshop, and it's best if you try installing them beforehand. Copy and paste the code below into your console and run it.

loadpackages=function(packages){  for(p in packages){
  if(!require(p,character.only=T)){install.packages(p)}
  library(p,character.only=T,quietly=T,verbose=F)}}
loadpackages(c("devtools","ggplot2","sf","plyr","dplyr","raster","ggsn",
           "rgdal","ggrepel","purrr","spData","data.table","maptools",
           "RStoolbox","rasterVis","leaflet","mapview","magick","tmap"))
if(!require("spDataLarge",character.only=T)){
  devtools::install_github("Nowosad/spDataLarge")}

Finally, run update.packages() in your console to make sure everything is up to date.
