# Description
This 1 day What They Forgot (WTF) To Teach You About R workshop is for experienced R and RStudio users who want to better understand R execution via debugging and personal R administration. At the conclusion of the workshop you will have distinct strategies for debugging your own code versus someone else's code, as well as strategies for maintaining your R installation through the lens of reproducibility.
# Audience
This course is for you if you:
- Have you been using R for a while and you want a deeper understanding of what code is executing when and where it is coming from.
- Want strategies for overcoming roadblocks when when all else has failed in function execution or package installation.
- Are willing to get into the weeds of your R installation, project organization, error messages, and source code.
## Prework
1. Please have two recent versions of R installed, as well as a recent version of RStudio:
- one version of R >= 4.1 & R < 4.4
- one version of R >= 4.4
- [RStudio >= 2024.04.1+748](https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/)
You can find older versions of R [at this link for Windows](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/) (click on the `.exe` file to install), at [this link for Intel Macs](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/big-sur-x86_64/base/), and at [this link for M-series Macs.](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/base/)
See the discussion in Install or upgrade R and RStudio: https://happygitwithr.com/install-r-rstudio.html#install-r-rstudio
2. Install the following packages: `install.packages(c("tidyverse", "rmarkdown", "usethis", "fs", "here", "renv", "devtools"))`
3. Install `rig`: https://github.com/r-lib/rig
4. Please make sure your system is ready to build packages. You can
confirm this by checking if `devtools::has_devel()` returns `Your system is ready to build packages!`.
If this returns `Could not find tools necessary to compile a package` this indicates
your system needs additional tools - please see https://rstats-wtf.github.io/wtf-personal-radmin-slides/#/how-to-get-the-tools
to identify what to install for your OS.
