12.3 Making it Happen

12.3.1 Create A Project in a New Directory

First you will need to create a new Rproject using the usual methods. For the project name I typically write us-NAME-Of-Analysis. For example if I were working on a project for the Art department, I would name it us-arts. If I were working on something for the Call to Conversation, I would call it us-call-to-conversation. This way you can quickly see what project is using the usualsuspects template.

12.3.2 Make New R Markdown Document from Template

Once you have established that you can create a new Usual Subjects Project by first going to “File” -> “New R Markdown Document” -> “From Template” and choose the usual suspects template.
