• Colloquially known as the ‘new R Markdown’

Prerequisites

• Install the latest version of RStudio Desktop on your computer (from July 2022, Quarto is included with RStudio)

• Install the latest version of R on your computer

  • https://cloud.r-project.org/

Workshop versions: R 4.2.1, RStudio 2022.07.1.

Note: Quarto can be used without R or RStudio, e.g., with VS Code. But this workshop demonstrates the use of RStudio and includes some R code.
