Setup for different systems can be presented in dropdown menus via a `spoiler`

tag. They will join to this discussion block, so you can give a general overview

of the software used in this lesson here and fill out the individual operating

systems (and potentially add more, e.g. online setup) in the solutions blocks.

## Install R and RStudio
6+
* Use the following to find installation instructions under “Preparations”: [https://datacarpentry.github.io/R-ecology-lesson/index.html#preparations](https://datacarpentry.github.io/R-ecology-lesson/index.html#preparations)
7+
8+
* Follow the instructions to install the "tidyverse" and "ratdat" packages:
9+
* In the RStudio Console enter:
10+
install.packages("tidyverse")
11+
install.packages("ratdat")
12+
13+
* If you see a question about “binary versions available…do you want to install from sources the package…” **SAY NO**
14+
* Once a package has been installed, you don’t need to install it again until there is an update
15+
* If you get an error message about needing RTools, you can find that here: [https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/)
16+
* Download and install the version that aligns with the R version that you currently have
17+
* Once installed, you might need to restart your R session
18+
19+
* DO NOT download the dataset
20+
21+
## Git installation
22+
23+
### **Windows**: install the Bash Shell with Git
24+
* Download the Git for Windows [installer](https://gitforwindows.org/) and run it keeping all the defaults.
25+
* **Additional step**
26+
* In RStudio, open the Terminal tab
27+
* Copy and paste: setx HOME "%USERPROFILE%"
28+
* Press Enter, you should see: "SUCCESS: Specified value was saved"
29+
* Restart your R session
30+
31+
### **Mac**
32+
* Open the Terminal app from Applications (it is sometimes under a folder called "Other" or "Utilities"), type `git --version` and press Enter/Return
33+
* If it's not installed already, follow the instructions to Install the "command line developer tools"
34+
* Do not click "Get Xcode" because that will take too long and is not necessary for this workshop
