• Download and install the GTK+Win32 Runtime environment intaller GTK for windows. Again, download to your desktop and double click its icon to install.

• Start R by double clicking its icon that gets installed when R is installed. Within R we will now install 5 packages by doing the following:

  Under the Packages menu select the following CRAN packages for installation:

  RGtk2, cairoDevice, gWidgets, gWidgetsRGtk2, pmg

  Once this is done, you can load pmg with the command

  If you close the pmg window, you can reload it with the command pmg().
