[R] R on a ma c
Hello, Is R very compatible with a Mac? A colleague of mine indicated that everyone he knows with a Mac has problems with R. What can you tell me about using R with a Mac. What do I need to download? I have downloaded the basic R package.

Re: [R] R on a ma c
In my experience R runs just fine on the Mac. For basic use you don't need to do anything special whatsoever. Just install R as you would any other program. If you need to install packages from source you will probably want to install Xcode.

Re: [R] R on a ma c
Dear Tiffany, R works wonderfully with Macs (and *nix and Windows). The main program should be all you need, but if you have any doubts or concerns, here is the link to download R from the website for Mac OSes: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ If you are just getting started using R, it is a good idea to read through the introduction to R manual: http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html and you might also consider getting a book to help you a long the way. There is a large list of books related to R here: http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html I have personally found Peter Dalgaard's book a very nice book to start with: Peter Dalgaard. Introductory Statistics with R. Springer, 2nd edition, 2008. ISBN 978-0-387-79053-4.

I have been using it as my work machine for the last 2.75 years and several of the regular contributors to rhelp are also running Macs. Rock-solid. Better memory management than Windows XP or Vista. Simon Urbanek (and his collaborators) deserves a huge amount of thanks for the fine work he has done. The R-Mac SIG is the place for mac-specific question, though: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac A colleague of mine indicated that everyone he knows with a Mac has problems with R. He needs more sophisticated friends :-) What can you tell me about using R with a Mac. What do I need to download? There is a section in the installation document: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-Mac-OS-X I have downloaded the basic R package. That is not exactly specific enough to advise whether you got the correct bundle for your machine. Be sure to read the installation document carefully. No shortcuts.

Re: [R] R on a ma c
R works great on my Mac. In fact, the user interface in some ways seems to be more friendly (ex. you type an open parenthesis, it automatically includes a close parenthesis; color coding for coding files, etc.) Andrew Miles On Oct 14, 2010, at 2:49 PM, David Cross wrote: I have had no problems with R on my Mac ... just download, install, and run ... let me know if you have any problems.
