Installing R
16 Installing R
The main website for
R is
http://www.r-project.org. You can
find information about obtaining
R. It is freely downloadable and
there are pre-compiled versions for Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
To install the binaries is usually quite straightforward and is
similar to installation of other software. The binaries are
relatively large (around 10Mb) and often there are sets of smaller
files available for download.
As well, the ``
R Installation and Administration'' manual
from the distribution is available for download from
http://cran.r-project.org/.
This offers detailed instructions on installation for your machine.
