What you need for this book

The steps should be listed in a way that it prepares the system environment to be able to test the code examples in the book.

The following software is required:

• R base
• MS Office
• Apache Java (JDK)
• MySQL
• MongoDB

Although all the code should run on the R command line, I suggest you run the code in the book from R Studio instead of the R command line, as it is an IDE and is easy to use. Also, a few chapters specifically require the use of R Studio only.
