These files and folders are meant to accompany the hands-on Making interactive maps with R at 2020 NICAR in New Orleans. There's also a website walkthrough for folks who want to revisit what they learned in person and for those who couldn't attend.

• The Walkthroughs

The quickest way to access the data for this session is to first make sure your current project directory is logically organized.

Hopefully, you've created folder on your computer in your Documents folder called Projects or something like that.

Once you've set your working directory (with maybe setwd()) then you can run these commands in your console to download the correct folders and data:

install.packages("usethis")

and then

usethis::use_course("https://github.com/andrewbtran/NICAR-2020-mapping/archive/master.zip")

Otherwise:

Clone or download and unzip this repo. Make sure the folder is not in a temporary unzipped folder.

To ensure these files work as expected, please make sure the project directory is set up correctly:

When you type getwd() it should look something like your_file_path/NICAR-2020-mapping

You can manually set this up by:

Session > Set Working Directory > To Project Directory

Alternatively, you can double click the NICAR-2020-mapping.Rproj file from your finder/file browser.

Navigate to the scripts folder to open and follow along with each section by filename.
