Step by step: creating an R package

With the help of posts by Hillary Parker and trestletech I managed to create my first R package in RStudio (here’s why) . It wasn’t as difficult as I thought and it seems to work.

If you want, you can upload the package to Github. Other people will then be able to install it:

library(devtools)
install_github('username/package-name')
