# Windows 10 Home/pre-10 {#otherWin .unnumbered}

This guide covers the installation of R and RStudio on machines running Windows 10 Home Edition or versions of Windows prior to Windows 10 (e.g. Windows 7). With this approach, you will install R and RStudio "natively", that is running directly on your operating system. If you are not sure what version of Windows you are running, check out this [guide](#windows-version).

<div class="alert alert-danger" style="font-size:120%">
<b>IMPORTANT</b>: <br>
    
This module has been written using the most up-to-date versions of R, RStudio and relevant packages. To avoid software compatibility issues it is important you have these same versions installed on your home computer.

**Therefore, if you have R or RStudio already installed on your computer, please first uninstall them unsing the instructions [here](#uninstall_otherwin).**

## Install Packages  {.unlisted .unnumbered}

In order to complete the course, you will need to have installed all the required packages. The simplest way to do this is to run the below code in RStudio.

```{r, eval=FALSE}
list.of.packages.cran <- c(
  "arm", "car", "corrplot", "FRK", "gghighlight",
  "ggplot2", "ggmap", "GISTools", "gridExtra", "gstat",
  "jtools", "kableExtra", "knitr", "lme4", "lmtest",
  "lubridate", "MASS", "merTools", "plyr", "RColorBrewer",
  "rgdal", "sf", "sjPlot", "sp", "spgwr",
  "spatialreg", "spacetime", "stargazer", "tidyverse", "tmap",
  "viridis", "tufte"
)

new.packages.cran <- list.of.packages.cran[!(list.of.packages.cran %in% installed.packages()[,"Package"])]
if(length(new.packages.cran)) install.packages(new.packages.cran)

for(i in 1:length(list.of.packages.cran)) {
  library(list.of.packages.cran[i], character.only = T)
}
```

- Copy the code above by clicking the button to the top right of the code chunk which says **Copy to clipboard** when you hover over it.

```{r Packages_1, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Packages_1.png")
```

- Open _RStudio_ and click the image of a _'white and green plus sign on top of a white square'_ that says **New File** when you hover over it. Then, from the drop-down menu that appears, click on the option **R Script**.

```{r Packages_2, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Packages_2.png")
```

- A new window with a blank background and the heading **_Untitled1_** (indicated by red arrow above) should appear. 

- Paste the copied code into this window by right-clicking and selecting **Paste**.

```{r Packages_3, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Packages_3.png")
```

- Click on the **Code** menu at the top of the screen. Select **Run Region** from the drop-down menu, then click **Run All** from the second drop-down menu.

- This should install all the packages you need to complete the ‘Spatial Modelling for Data Scientists’ module.

<div class="alert alert-success" style="font-size:120%">
<b>NOTE</b>: <br>
    
The script will install several dozen packages on your computer. This could take around 20-30 minutes to complete, depending on you computer and bandwidth.
   
</div>

```{r Packages_4, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Packages_4.png")
```

- Once the code has finished running, a blue arrow with a gray vertical line next to it (indicated by red arrow above) will appear at the bottom of the _Console_ window at the bottom left of the screen. This means R has finished the task it was given and is ready for it's next command.

```{r Packages_5, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Packages_5.png")
```

- You can now close the _R Script_ file you created by clicking on the `x` next to the header **_Untitled1_** (indicated by red arrow above). You do not need to save the file.

<br>

<div class="alert alert-success" style="font-size:120%">

Congratulations!!! You have now successfully installed R, RStudio and all packages required to complete the course!

You can now start coding.

## Uninstall R and RStudio {#uninstall_otherwin .unnumbered}

This section shows how to uninstall programs on Windows 10 Home Edition. You only need to read this section if you have an older version of R or RStudio already installed on your computer.

```{r Uninstall_1, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Uninstall_1.png")
```

- Right click on the Windows logo in the left bottom corner of your screen and click on **Settings**.

- Click on the program you wish to uninstall and select **Uninstall**.

**NOTE: Once you click Uninstall, a window might pop up that asks you if you want to allow this app to make changes to your device click _YES_ to continue.**

```{r Uninstall_4, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE, out.width = "400px"}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Uninstall_4.png")
```

- You will then be asked whether you are sure you want to remove the program. Click **Yes**.

```{r Uninstall_5, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE, out.width = "600px"}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Uninstall_5.png")
```

-	The program is now uninstalling.

```{r Uninstall_6, fig.align = 'center', echo = FALSE, out.width = "400px"}
knitr::include_graphics("figs/chp4/Uninstall_6.png")
```

- Once this is complete, you will get a message confirming that the installation was successful. Click **OK**.
