Like other Carpentries workshops, you will be learning by "coding along" with the Instructors. To do this, you will need to have both the window for the tool you will be learning about (a terminal, RStudio, your web browser, etc..) and the window for the Zoom video conference client open. In order to see both at once, we recommend using one of the following set up options:
Please see below for setup instructions for this workshop.
Bash is a commonly-used shell that gives you the power to do simple tasks more quickly. For this lesson we will use both Software Carpentry and to some extent Library Carpentry curricula. Please find primary setup instructions here.
OpenRefine is a tool to clean up and organize messy data. For this lesson we will use both Data Carpentry and to some extent Library Carpentry curricula. Please find primary setup instructions here.
