Installation Guide

These pages should help you to get started setting up the computing environment on your machine ready for the course "Programming Practices for Research in Economics" at the University of Zurich in Summer/Fall 2021.

Please attempt to install necessary software and packages prior to the beginning of the course.

Summary

  • If everything goes smoothly, you should be able to complete the installation in one sitting which should take about 2 hours.
  • Please follow the steps one-by-one in the order they appear on the side bar and do not deviate from them, unless you really know what you are doing.
  • If you find any outdated links or unclear descriptions, email us at pp4rs.contact@gmail.com so that we can update the instructions or clarify as needed.
