## Getting the data

To get the gapminder dataset for todays course you'll need to use the following command in your RStudio cloud console:

download.file("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swcarpentry/r-novice-gapminder/gh-pages/_episodes_rmd/data/gapminder_data.csv", 
              destfile = "data/gapminder_data.csv")

## Questions and Answers

Feel free to post any questions you have here or in the Zoom chat. I'll do my best to answer them inline.
