Welcome ECREEE Fellows!
To get started, you will need access to the tutorials we have prepared for this workshop. Here are two options:
- The easiest way to access and share these tutorials (and the best way to work collaboratively on almost any project!) is through github.com. If you don't already use github, I suggest the following easy-to-follow tutorial to help you get started. This will take ~30 minutes. http://readwrite.com/2013/09/30/understanding-github-a-journey-for-beginners-part-1
Assuming that you are now setup with git, github, and have navigated to the project page https://github.com/Ecohen4/ECREEE you can "clone" the repository containing the tutorials. The "clone" button creates a local copy of the github repository on your machine. From the terminal, type:
git clone "https://github.com/Ecohen4/ECREEE.git"
- ALTERNATIVELY... skip all that and simply download the tutorials as a ZIP file. Go to the following website https://github.com/Ecohen4/ECREEE and click "Download ZIP" on the bottom-right of the page. This avoids getting setup with github altogether and is just like downloading data from anywhere on the web.
After following option 1 or 2 from above, you can now load the tutorials in RStudio:
- Open RStudio
- Create a "New Project"
- Select "Existing Directory"
- Navigate (e.g. "browse") to the github repository or to the ZIP file that you just created on your machine.
[ RStudio > File > New Project > Existing Directory > Browse > ~/ECREEE ]
Then, from the "Files" pane on the bottom right of the RStudio interface, select from the following tutorials:
- ECREEE_R_Training_1.Rmd (R Basic Training)
- ECREEE_R_Training_2.Rmd (Engineering Analysis with R: A Few Practical Examples)
- NRLDC-Daily.Rmd (Global Trends in Urban Energy Use)
