For this to work there must exist a directory named data in your current working directory. You can check from the Console pane with dir() or look in the Files pane.

i thought it would write the directory and call it "data." i still cant get it to work

Create a new folder under your project directory called data first.

Consider using RStudio projects (File | New Project) and create the data folder there. Then

install.packages("here")

then, wherever you are working in the project you can refer to your files in that folder without worrying how many subdirectories up, over and down they might be.

read.csv(here::here("data/your.csv")
