R is a computer language. It’s a tool for doing the computation and number-crunching that set the stage for statistical analysis and decision-making. RStudio is an open source integrated development environment (IDE) for creating and running R code. It’s available in versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Although you don’t need an IDE in order to work with R, RStudio makes life a lot easier.
Download R from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN). In your browser, type this address if you work in Windows:
cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/
Type this one if you work on the Mac:
cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/
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.
R is a programming language. To use R, we need to install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).Rstudio is the Best IDE available as it is user-friendly, open-source and is part of the Anaconda platform. In this tutorial, we will learn. Install Anaconda; Mac User; Widows User; Install R.
Turn your analyses into high quality documents, reports, presentations and dashboards with R Markdown. Use a productive notebook interface to weave together narrative text and code to produce elegantly formatted output. Install RStudio on Mac OS X. Step – 1: With the r-base installed, you need to install RStudio. To do that, go to download RStudio and click on the download button for the RStudio desktop. Step – 2: Click on the link for the Mac OS X version of RStudio and save the.dmg file. Step – 3: Double click the downloaded file and then drag-and. Install RStudio on Mac OS X. Step – 1: With the r-base installed, you need to install RStudio. To do that, go to download RStudio and click on the download button for the RStudio desktop. Step – 2: Click on the link for the Mac OS X version of RStudio and save the.dmg file. Step – 3: Double click the downloaded file and then drag-and.
Both URLs provides helpful links to FAQs. The Windows-related URL also links to “Installation and other instructions.”
Now for RStudio.
Click the link for the installer for your computer, and again follow the usual installation procedures.
After the RStudio installation is finished, click the RStudio icon to open the window shown.
If you already have an older version of RStudio and you go through this installation procedure, the install updates to the latest version (and you don’t have to uninstall the older version).
The large Console pane on the left runs R code. One way to run R code is to type it directly into the Console pane.
The other two panes provide helpful information as you work with R. The Environment and History pane is in the upper right. The Environment tab keeps track of the things you create (which R calls objects) as you work with R. The History tab tracks R code that you enter.
Get used to the word object. Everything in R is an object.
The Files, Plots, Packages, and Help tabs are in the pane in the lower right. The Files tab shows files you create. The Plots tab holds graphs you create from your data. The Packages tab shows add-ons (called packages) you downloaded as part of the R installation. Bear in mind that “downloaded” doesn’t mean “ready to use.” To use a package’s capabilities, one more step is necessary, and you’ll want to use packages.
This figure shows the Packages tab. The packages are in either the user library (which you can see in the figure) or the system library (which you have to scroll down to).
The Help tab, shown here, provides links to a wealth of information about R and RStudio.
To tap into the full power of RStudio as an IDE, click the larger of the two icons in the upper right corner of the Console pane. That changes the appearance of RStudio so that it looks like this:
The top of the Console pane relocates to the lower left. The new pane in the upper left is the Scripts pane. You type and edit code in the Scripts pane and press Ctrl+R (Command+Enter on the Mac), and then the code executes in the Console pane.
Ctrl+Enter works just like Ctrl+R. You can also select Code → Run Selected Line(s).
This directory contains binaries for a base distribution and packages to run on Mac OS X (release 10.6 and above). Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 (and Mac OS X 10.1) are no longer supported but you can find the last supported release of R for these systems (which is R 1.7.1) here. Releases for old Mac OS X systems (through Mac OS X 10.5) and PowerPC Macs can be found in the old directory.
Note: CRAN does not have Mac OS X systems and cannot check these binaries for viruses.Although we take precautions when assembling binaries, please use the normal precautions with downloaded executables.
Package binaries for R versions older than 3.2.0 are only available from the CRAN archive so users of such versions should adjust the CRAN mirror setting (https://cran-archive.r-project.org) accordingly.

Rstudio Latest Version
Please check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded image to ensure that it has not been tampered with or corrupted during the mirroring process. For example type
openssl sha1 R-4.0.3.pkg
in the Terminal application to print the SHA1 checksum for the R-4.0.3.pkg image. On Mac OS X 10.7 and later you can also validate the signature using
pkgutil --check-signature R-4.0.3.pkg

The latter two components are optional and can be ommitted when choosing 'custom install', they are only needed if you want to use the tcltk R package or build package documentation from sources. Note: the use of X11 (including tcltk) requires XQuartz to be installed since it is no longer part of OS X. Always re-install XQuartz when upgrading your macOS to a new major version. Important: this release uses Xcode 10.1 and GNU Fortran 8.2. If you wish to compile R packages from sources, you will need to download and GNU Fortran 8.2 - see the tools directory. |
