README.md

This captures notes around problems I encountered while working through R for Data Scientists.

1.4.3: The Tidyverse

xml2

On OSX, the installation of xml2 fails with an error:

Configuration failed because libxml-2.0 was not found.

To resolve

$ brew install libxml2

In R:

install.packages("xml2", configure.vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include/libxml2 LIB_DIR=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/')
