Change of links to download RStudio Desktop IDE
edgardogv opened this issue · comments
I would like to provide a suggestion that applies to these pages:
The link for RStudio goes to the home page, which could be kind of a labyrinth for some people to locate the actual download link. So instead I would like to suggest to point the download link to the actual download site for the RStudio Desktop which is at https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download
I have used it successfully on my own teaching classes, hopefully it is useful for the Carpentries community as well.
Now, one limitation of this approach is that RStudio is launching a new site on October 2022, re-branding as Posit, so maybe is better to wait until then to make the change. If this is something that makes sense, I can keep it on my radar and propose the change myself through GitHub at that point :)
Thank you for your suggestion @edgardogv! Apologies for taking so long to reply to this issue, with the side effect that by now the RStudio re-branding to Posit has already taken place!
Would you like to submit a PR to address this?
Hi @matthieu-bruneaux, I have updated those links as part of my Carpenters instructor certification.
Waiting for those to pass automated checks
