#### Instructions ####
# Unfortunately you cannot run this script mindlessly and be fine.
# It may take a moment or two, so make sure you have some time for this.
# Read it carefully, execute line by line and see how your computer responds.
# Any line that does not start with '#' is meant to run in R.
# Be kind, most computers are pretty sensitive.

#### R/RStudio ####
# Have you updated your R/RStudio in the last year?
# No -> Update!!! Both!
# Not sure -> Update. Both.
# Yes -> Updating is still a good idea.
# I don't use RStudio -> Though not mandatory, it will make your life easier!
# Links for your convenience:
# https://cran.r-project.org

if (!requireNamespace("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")

#### Git/Make/Docker ####

#### This doesn't work ####
# If you right now hate any of the following:
# * me
# * your computer
# * yourself
# * the world
# Or it simply doesn't work:
# It's okay, we all have been there. Keep calm, do these three things:
# 1. raise an issue: https://github.com/lisallreiber/R-Workshop/issues/new
# 2. Come early to the workshop:
#   * We figure it out together.
#   * I'll usually be there about an hour early.

#### Looking forward to seeing you! ####
