R is a very powerful tool for a ton of different data operations, but you already know that, so you don’t need a 3 paragraph introduction about it. R can easily be installed on any MacOS / Windows or Linux machine, here’s how.

The first thing you want to do is install the R language, you want to make your way over to this website: https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html

Once there, you want to scroll down to whichever country you're in, then click on any of the options (the first one will be fine).

Once you click on that page, you will come to a page that looks like this:

You want to choose your specific operating system, once clicked you will come to this page, you want to scroll down a bit until you get to this specific portion (this page changes frequently but the layout is the same), at this point click on this package (The R-4.0.3.pkg) and download it.
