Using SQL:
- Download and install MySQL
- Download and install the MySQL Workbench. This is the officially-supported GUI for working with MyQL. It is free, open-source, and cross-platform.
- dplyr provides a syntax for pulling MySQL data directly into R, but relies upon the RMySQL package to do so. This package is cross-platform, but is not always available as a binary.
- Installing RMySQL:
```
install.packages("RMySQL")
```
  If that doesn’t work, try:
```
install.packages("RMySQL", type="source")
```
