Your Turn

Download the course project using this code:

install.packages("usethis")
library(usethis)
use_course("https://rfor.us/getting-started-materials")

Open the project and look at the files within it.

Note: By default, the project will download and open on your desktop. If you want to change the location, you can use this code (replace the C:/Users/david/Documents with a file path that actually exists on your system):

use_course("https://rfor.us/getting-started-materials",
		    destdir = "C:/Users/david/Documents")

However, we've seen many people run into issues when trying to change the location of the download in this way. Instead, my recommendation would be to download it to the default location and, if desired, move the entire folder using the Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows) app.
