| 10 | +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). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## 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 | + |
| 39 | + |
| 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. |
