Conflicting instructions on what packages to install

[maneesha]

On this page Linux users are instructed to install the tidyverse and SQLite packages. Mac and Windows users are not instructed to install any packages.

On this page all users are instructed to install tidyverse only.

@maneesha Good point. We don't use SQLite in the R lesson. But it looks like the first link you posted is for the larger social science workshop page. Please open this issue there: https://github.com/datacarpentry/socialsci-workshop/issues

Thanks for noting this @maneesha. I'm bringing this issue to our next @datacarpentry/staff-curriculum team meeting, as we've been doing some thinking about how to make sure installation instructions stay clear and consistent across all of our lessons. We meet on Tuesdays.

In general, package installation in R should probably be part of the relevant episodes rather than the installation instructions, since it's a process that will be regularly repeated by R users rather than performed once as setup.
