If you find the blank screen too overwhelming, R Studio offers a free GUI for R (I, personally, find that R Studio is kind of clunky makes things more difficult, but that’s me -nml).

An awesome blog, asdfree.com (“Analyze Survey Data for Free”), with complete R instructions for finding, downloading, importing, and analyzing each of several publicly-available US government survey datasets.
