To import a .csv file directly from the web into RStudio, such as one of the ones below, we use the following command:
read.csv("web address")
For instance, to import the governors data file, and give it the name
gov, we enter the following at the console prompt in
RStudio (you can copy and paste!):
gov = read.csv("https://mphitchman.com/stats/data/gov24.csv")
In general, when you are importing a .csv file from the web, I
encourage you to right click on the link to copy the link address, and
then paste it (between quotes!) in the read.csv("")
command.
