Using packages and noacsr

R uses alot of packages that contain code and functions, these may be for data handling, integrating with services or creating plots and graphs. The most common that you will likely use is tidyverse(Which is a collection of packages), devtools and ggplot2.
Within the lab we have an R package called noacsr that is under development. This package contains a function to create a new project that creates the files that you will need. To install these packages in R do:

install.packages(c("devtools", "tidyverse", "ggplot2") library(devtools)

To install the noacsr package, you need to install it from GitHub like this:

devtools::install_github("martingerdin/noacsr")

And start using with:

library(noacsr)
