Completing the tutorial requires two online services:
11+
12+
* [GitHub][] - Website for storing and sharing code in Git repositories
13+
* [RStudio Cloud][rscloud] - Cloud version of RStudio IDE in which you can
14+
create and share data science projects
15+
16+
17+
[GitHub]: https://github.com/
18+
[rscloud]: https://rstudio.cloud/
19+
20+
Prior to the tutorial, please create an account on both GitHub and RStudio Cloud.
21+
22+
## Create an account on GitHub
23+
24+
To create a new account on GitHub, go to https://github.com/join/. The only
25+
requirement is a valid email address. The standard "Free" account is sufficient
26+
for the tutorial. For more details, see the GitHub Help article
27+
[Signing up for a new GitHub account](https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/signing-up-for-a-new-github-account).

## Create an account on RStudio Cloud
32+
33+
To create an account on RStudio Cloud, go to
34+
https://login.rstudio.cloud/register/. You can either create a new username and
35+
password, or you can use your Google or GitHub credentials. I recommend using
36+
your GitHub account for authentication on RStudio Cloud. The standard "Free"
37+
plan is sufficient for this tutorial.
38+

40+
41+
## Create your own copy of the tutorial project
42+
43+
To minimize any potential technical difficulties, I have created a project on
44+
RStudio Cloud that contains the tutorial files and has all the necessary
45+
packages already installed. To get started, go to
46+
https://rstudio.cloud/project/<insert-project-id>. This will automatically
47+
create a copy of the project in your user workspace. Make sure to click the
48+
button "Save a Permanent Copy", otherwise your copy of the project will be
49+
deleted afterwards.
