# Installing the R SDK

## Intro

The R SDK is an R package that allows you to transfer data between Domo and R easily, simplifying the process of moving DataSets between the two. You can access the SDK and installation information in the Data Center.

Times when the R SDK may be the best solution are these:

* If your data science team is using R for most transformations and needs to get that data into Domo.
* When you need to do any sort of statistical analysis or data exploration that’s outside of the scope of SQL.
* If you are already using R scripts for data processing.
* When you need capabilities beyond SQL for forecasting, text analysis, or other data science tasks.
* If you require Rapid App prototyping or are creating dynamic reproducible documents/reports.

This topic takes you through the entire installation and initialization process for the R SDK.

## Prerequisites

To install and initialize the R SDK you will need two pieces of information:

* Your customer instance name, denoted as customer in this documentation. This is the part of your login URL before [domo.com](http://domo.com). For example, if your Domo login URL was [https://modocorp.domo.com](https://modocorp.domo.com), the customer instance name would be modocorp.
* A Domo Access Token, denoted as domo\_access\_token in this documentation. This is required to access your Domo instance via the Domo API. A user at your company with an "Admin" security role (or a custom role with "Manage All Company Settings" or "Manage All Access Tokens" enabled) will need to generate this token by going to **Admin > Security > Access Tokens** in your account and clicking **Generate Access Token** in the upper right corner.

  <Note>
    **Note:** T he R SDK requires httr 1.0.0 or lower and readr 0.2.0 or lower installed in your instance of R.
