Installing R and R-Studio

As the CM SAF R Toolbox is based on R, it is necessary to install R on your laptop. Experience with R is not required for the workshop, but would be beneficial.

Here are some useful webpages regarding R:
http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html
http://cran.r-project.org/faqs.html
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Short-refcard.pdf

For the installation of R, please follow the instruction on the R-homepage.

A good Interface for R is the RStudio. RStudio is recommended for beginners because it combines a graphical user interface, script editing and useful information on R.

Here is a link to a blog post from Oscar Perpiñán Lamigueiro about the use of R to estimate solar energy potential using CM SAF data:
