Take control of your R code. RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R. It includes a console, syntax-highlighting editor that supports direct code execution, as well as tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management.
After some years as a MacPorts user I decided to give home brew a try, which are advertising their package manager with the sentence “Homebrew — MacPorts driving you to drink? Try Homebrew!”. The idea is not to build everything from scratch and create another software micro cosmos but to reuse existing Mac OS X abilities and save some space (as well as [cpu] time for updates). Sounds promising I thought and installed it according to the website’s description.
- CNET Download provides free downloads for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices across all categories of software and apps, including security, utilities, games, video and browsers.
- Click on the 'Download R for (Mac) OS X' link at the top of the page. Click on the file containing the latest version of R under 'Files.' Save the.pkg file, double-click it to open, and follow the installation instructions. Now that R is installed, you need to download and install RStudio.
- Click the link to download R. This puts the win.exe file in your Windows computer, or the.pkg file in your Mac. In either case, follow the usual installation procedures. When installation is complete, Windows users see an R icon on their desktop, Mac users see it in their Application folder. Both URLs provides helpful links to FAQs.
- The best part is that the R installer contains all the required components, such as the R Framework, the R.app GUI and Tcl/Tk for X11. Various tools for statistical analysis You can use the R language to perform different types of statistical calculations for linear and non-linear modeling, classical.
One of the first things I wanted to install was “The R Project for Statistical Computing”. Anyhow, since home brew requires people to think a bit, it was not as straight forward as some MacPorts rules.For R, we need to have a fortran compiler installed. I did this using the following command:
Brew would complain otherwise that no fortran compiler is installed and R installation would fail. After that, everything is ready already and we can proceed using:
NB! You need to run this command first if you are on a recent OS X:
Macos Install R
That’s it - no rocket science but nice to know in advance…
