2 Required Packages

To follow along with this tutorial, you’ll need to have certain packages installed in your R environment. Specifically, we’ll install devtools.

You can install it using the install.packages() function in R. Here’s how you can do it:

install.packages("devtools")

This command will also ensure that usethis is installed. It is is a very important package for package development in R, as it automates many setup tasks. When usethis is installed, another important package, gh, is automatically installed as well.

Once installed, load these packages into your R session using the library() function:

library(devtools)

Now that you have these packages installed and loaded, you’re ready to proceed with the tutorial.
