Step 1 – Install R
Before you install R studio, you have to install R. Download R here. Select your platform ( Windows, Mac or Linus) and then in the subsequent page, select R base,

and then select the downloaded. It’s 80+ MB and should download pretty fast on a standard connection.

Once you have downloaded the installable, just double click on it and the steps should be pretty easy.

After finishing base R installation, move on to the next step of installing R studio.
Step 2 – Install R Studio

If you have chosen a non-standard path to install base R, when you start R studio, it might not be able to figure the R installation path and might ask you for the specific location or R installation. Just provide the same.

That’s it. Launch R studio from the Start menu and you should see the R studio.
