For this workshop we will be using rVDI virtual desktop machines, which run on the HPC.
This is to save setup time, because installing R and all the required analysis packages would take over an hour.
If you want to run the analysis at home, without using rVDI, you can install R and RStudio on your PC.
Installing R: https://cran.r-project.org/
Installing RStudio: RStudio Desktop
