Show what topics will be covered.
- If your workshop is R rather than Python, remove the comment around that section and put a comment around the Python section.
- Some workshops will delete SQL.
- Please make sure the list of topics is synchronized with what you intend to teach.
- You may need to move the div's with class="col-md-6" around inside the div's with class="row" to balance the multi-column layout.

To participate in a {% if page.carpentry == "swc" %} Software Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "dc" %} Data Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "lc" %} Library Carpentry {% endif %} workshop, you will need access to the software described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.
We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.
R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.

Install R by downloading and running
<a href="https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/release.htm">this .exe file</a>
from <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/index.html">CRAN</a>.
Also, please install the
<a href="https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download">RStudio IDE</a>.
Note that if you have separate user and admin accounts, you should run the
installers as administrator (right-click on .exe file and select "Run as
administrator" instead of double-clicking). Otherwise problems may occur later,
for example when installing R packages.

SQL is a specialized programming language used with databases. We use a simple database manager called SQLite in our lessons.
Visit SqliteBrowser and download and install it. Version 3.11.0 or greater.

If you installed Anaconda, it also has a copy of SQLite
without support to readline.
Instructors will provide a workaround for it if needed.
For this lesson you will need OpenRefine and a web browser. Note: this is a Java program that runs on your machine (not in the cloud). It runs inside a web browser, but no web connection is needed.

Check that you have either the Firefox or the Chrome browser installed and set as your default browser.
<strong>OpenRefine runs in your default browser.</strong>
It will not run correctly in Internet Explorer.

<p>Download software from <a href="http://openrefine.org/">http://openrefine.org/</a></p>
<p>Create a new directory called OpenRefine.</p>
<p>Unzip the downloaded file into the OpenRefine directory by right-clicking and selecting "Extract ...". </p>
<p>Go to your newly created OpenRefine directory.</p>
<p>Launch OpenRefine by clicking <code>openrefine.exe</code> (this will launch a command prompt window, but you can ignore that - just wait for OpenRefine to open in the browser).</p>
<p>If you are using a different browser, or if OpenRefine does not automatically open for you, point your browser at <a href="http://127.0.0.1:3333/">http://127.0.0.1:3333/</a> or <a href="http://localhost:3333">http://localhost:3333</a> to use the program.</p>

Some instructors prefer to have learners use a virtual machine (VM) rather than install software on their own computers. If your instructors have chosen to do this, please:
- Install VirtualBox.
- Download our VM image. Warning: this file is 1.7 GByte, so please download it before coming to your workshop.
-
Load the VM into VirtualBox by selecting "Import Appliance" and
loading the
.ovafile.
