Mprofs Course Materials - Rstudio

Posted by naomi.stringfield on 11/27/2019 at 12:17 PM ET 125 Points
I'm working on the prerequisites for your course "A Scientific Approach to Metrics, Measurement, and Marketing ROI." In the "Prerequisite" module, instructions are given to copy-paste some code into RStudio in order to install a bunch of packages. However, when I do this I get an awful lot of "failure" messages. Is the code old? Are there alternate instructions? How should I proceed with the course?

    Naomi, it sounds like you haven't installed the devtools package. You'll need to do that before running the R download.

    Chris Penn very quickly goes over devtools in the Prerequisites module, around 1 minute 30 with the github.com info. If you don't have CRM data yet, he shows a sample code you can pick up.

    There are also written instructions online here: https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/pandoc/devtools.html

    Download the devtools package first, then try the R install again.

    And... in the future, please send your questions to support@marketingprofs.com rather than posting here. This discussion forum.is a community of marketers who help with marketing-related dilemmas.

    Closing this question, everyone!
