Once this has been done, take not of your username (same as github) and api key.

Then go to R and use the following code.

    install.packages("viridis") # dependency
    install.packages("devtools")
    devtools::install_github("ropensci/plotly")
    library(plotly)
    Sys.setenv("plotly_username"="<<githubusername generated above>>")

Now verify that you have successfully linked R to plotly:

    plotly:::verify("username")
    plotly:::verify("api_key")
