## Setup Accounts

You will need a couple accounts to perform the exercises. They're very
easy to setup:

1.  [**Github**](https://github.com/) for collaborating with versioned
    code repositories and use to serve websites.
2.  [**Google**](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441?hl=en)
    to contribute towards notes in Google Docs and use Google Sheets.
    You don't need a gmail account and can even use your existing email
    to setup a Google account.

## Install Software

This training will require the following software installed on your
machine:

1.  [**Webex**](https://www.webex.com/downloads.html) for connecting to
    the live webinar.
2.  [**R**](https://cran.r-project.org) scientific programming language
3.  [**RStudio**](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download)
    integrated development environment
4.  [**Git**](https://git-scm.com/) version control

Please download the appropriate stable release for your operating
system. I highly recommend getting the newest versions for all the
latest features.

**Option**. For those of you without install privileges on your machine,
e.g. a government issued laptop, you can use
[**rstudio.cloud**](https://rstudio.cloud) for free (up to 15 hours per
month; see [pricing](https://rstudio.cloud/plans/compare) for more),
which provides you with R + RStudio + git through your web browser.
