R
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. You can learn more about it and when you are ready, download R to install to your Windows, Linux, or Mac computer.

Rstudio
Rstudio is a great Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This is the graphical user interface that you use to interact with R, which is actually a separate software package than the R computing package.

MiKTeX
MiKTeX is software for compiling LaTeX and Markdown documents. LaTeX and Markdown are markup languages, which are alternatives to using word processing software. With markup languages, you type code to dictate what a document should look like, then compile this code to create a pretty document. The software is free and open source. You can download here. When you do so, download and install the "Net Installer" 64 bit, and select the "Complete" installation.
