Technical requirements

We will use renv to manage packages in a project-specific way. To use renv to install packages, you will first need to install the renv package. You can do this by running the following commands in your R console:

1. Install renv:

   install.packages("renv")

2. Create a new renv environment:

   renv::init()

   This will create a new directory called .renv in your current project directory.

3. You can then install packages with the following:

   renv::install_packages()

For this chapter, we’ll need the following packages:

• Regular packages:
  • ggplot2
  • tidyr
