In this example, the version of OS X is 10.10.5. This will dictate which version of R to download in the next

Follow the installation instructions. You do not need to open R after the completed installation. RStudio will
automatically do that after it is installed and opened.
4. Download RStudio
RStudio is currently only available for Mac OS X 10.6 or higher. Click on RStudio for Mac OS X 10.6+
(https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/). Click on the appropriate file corresponding to Mac
OS X. This will again bring up the save file dialog.
5. Install RStudio
After your download has completed, find your version of RStudio in the folder you specified.

Double click on the downloaded DMG file and follow the installation instructions.
6. Download MacTeX
MacTeX installs many of the things needed to use TeX for typesetting. Click on this link to download
MacTeX: http://tug.org/cgi-bin/mactex-download/MacTeX.pkg (http://tug.org/cgi-bin/mactexdownload/MacTeX.pkg). This is a large file and may take five minutes (or more, depending on your internet
connection) to download. More information is available here: https://tug.org/mactex/mactexdownload.html (https://tug.org/mactex/mactex-download.html).
7. Install MacTeX
Find your version of MacTeX in the folder you specified.
Double click on the PKG file and follow the installation instructions. You do not need to open anything after
MacTeX is finished installing.

You now want to run all of this code to install the packages listed at the top. To do this, click on the Source
button in the upper right of the top left pane (the one that has this code in it).
You should see some red text appear in the Console tab of the bottom left panel in RStudio. The code has
downloaded the packages specified and you can now use them in your code as needed.
9. Test installation
To check that R, RStudio, and TeX have been installed correctly, we will create a sample R Markdown
document. These types of documents will give you the ability to nicely document your code, include your
code, and also the output that your code produces.
Select File > New File > R Markdown from the RStudio taskbar menu.

In the resulting screen, select Document on the left and select PDF as the Default Output Format. (This will
check that MacTeX was appropriately installed. You can also create HTML or Word documents by
choosing the appropriate output format here. You can also change your mind later and create any of (or all
of) the three of these formats if you so choose.)

After giving the resulting PDF a name, you should obtain a PDF similar to the one shown below. The
resulting PDF will be stored in the same directory as the Rmd (R Markdown file) you just created.
