Installing NodeXL for Network Analysis: Quick and Simple

[@SheCanSmile]

i have been trying for hours to activate it it keeps giving me pop up messages about entering a license received via email which i have not received and cannot proceed

Thank you for impressing video. I'm going to put my formula in a node-exel graph to see the change. I'd like to know how?

Hello! First of all, I want to thank you for sharing these wonderful videos about social network analysis/web data scraping. I have learned a lot in the past couple of days by watching your videos. As a doctoral student, I feel more confident that I now have one more tool in my toolbox as a researcher. Thank you so much.... I would be grateful if you could answer one question. So far, from your videos, I've learned that it is possible to import Twitter data, visualize, and analyze the data (network data) by using R. Do you think NodeXL can do much more than what R is capable of. Or you can pretty much do everything that NodeXL can do by using R? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Dae

DK, thanks for writing. I wouldn't think about the NodeXL vs. R issue as one that involves general superiority of one over the other. NodeXL's strengths are in ease of visualization and analysis within a system that is comfortable to most generalists -- the spreadsheet environment of Microsoft Excel. R, on the other hand, doesn't cost anything (sadly, this is no longer the case for a functional version of NodeXL), it is freely extensible with igraph and other packages, and can engage in a more complete set of network analyses, such as QAP regression and exponential random graph modeling. With work and a LOT of tinkering, R can approach NodeXL in beauty of visualization, but it is a lot of work. The balance of these features will tip in one direction or another based on what your interests in research might be, how much time you have, and what your skill level in coding might be.

@@JamesCookUMA Hi, I'm onto the new link already. However, I couldn't find either download or install button. Do you have any suggestion ?

[@JamesCookUMA]

@@HoshiMinhTam Hi, Lily Red. The smrfoundation.org link below has a text link that leads to this page: nodexlgraphgallery.org/Pages/registration.asp . Hope that's helpful.

Good moring, how do I can insert image intoa node?

[@JamesCookUMA]

Not hard at all. It's node shape 11 in the node shape column.

Update: this guide is old (more than 3 years old), so the link to download has changed. Try here instead: www.smrfoundation.org/nodexl/installation/
