Atom is a nice text editor with support for multiple languages.
Since Atom is not downloaded from App Store, it may fail to install when you simply open it. You need to allow Mac to install an APP from an unidentified developer. It will appear in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
, under the General
tab. Click Open Anyway
to confirm your intent to open or install the app.
To install the atom
and apm
commands, run “Window: Install Shell Commands” from the Command Palette (Press Cmd+Shift+P), which will prompt you for an administrator password.
Git and Github together provide an important way for version control.
I have been gradually migrating from Stata
to R
because there exist many useful packages that facilitate both teaching and (reproducible) research in an elegant way. For example, this website was first created completely using Radix
, an R
package built by Yihui Xie and his coauthors, which is now replaced by Distill
. Recently, I have also started to use bookdown
to organize and write notes and papers.
