The datanovia.com webr console is pretty slick!
Like rdrr.io - this will run your code directly in it's console - or you can upload / run an R script.

Making a 'mylib' path.
1) Open terminal
2) Went to /home/michaeltbee/R
2) Did a mkdir 'mylib' - then...
3) Executed in console...

.libPaths(c("/home/michaeltbee/R/mylib"),.libPaths())

...now when I install.packages it should go there. :)

In the last script I'd used 'labs(caption...' as a plot identifier.
of the form 'rpt:nnn ~ rpttitle'
Screen shot of 10.01.MultiplePlots.R - execution / example. Note: The terminal window uses grep to identify all references to caption in the script

Done with 'R for Data Analysis'! Learned lots stepping through last chapter exercises(primarily reuse of script within variables). The book sample script was obfuscated / repetitious.
