How do I know if R is installed?

If you are using a Windows PC, there are two ways you can check whether R is already installed on your computer: Check if there is an “R” icon on the desktop of the computer that you are using. If so, double-click on the “R” icon to start R. If you cannot find an “R” icon, try step 2 instead.
