title: Importing a CSV file into R
body: <p>I am Using a MACbook and new to R. I have the social network file on my desktop and I'm trying to get R to read it. I saved it as CSV </p>
  
  <p>command typed: </p>
  
  <pre><code>sn.csv &lt;- read.csv("C:\Users\Opemipo Akinosun\Desktop\social_network.csv", header = T)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I keep getting the following errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
  In addition: Warning message:
  In file(file, "rt") :
    cannot open file 'C:/Users/Opemipo Akinosun/Desktop/social_network.csv': No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the resource I'm learning with doesn't ask me to set my directory so I'm a little reluctant to doing that as suggested</p>
