[R] installing R on Ubuntu, can ignore warning messages?
Installing R on Ubuntu 8.10, ( using sudo apt-get install r-base , and using one of the cran sites (cran.cnr.berkeley.edu)) the installation process says something about not having some gpg public key and are you sure you want to download non-authenticated stuff [y/n] (to which I answered yes). I'm assuming this warning can be ignored? Also: even though the Ubuntu install and online update did a GCC install the other day, the R installation did an update of some GCC files, which I thought was odd. Probably I can ignore that too. Once you've installed R, does that automatically include some data examples ( such as that MASS library ? )? Or does that require further downloads? Also, thanks for the previous tips __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] installing R on Ubuntu, can ignore warning messages?
Hi, Instructions for authenticating the cran repositories are here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ r-base comes with whatever the base R libraries are (stats, graphics etc.). I don't know if MASS in particular is in base because I don't use it directly. As far as I know it's safe to ignore the warnings, but they annoy me so I always following the instructions linked above. The list of packages regularly updated in the cran repo are also listed on the webpage linked above. A couple of further tips: 1) I usually install packages with sudo aptitude install r-cran-xxx and then make sure they are up-to date by running update.packages() in R. 2) You can also install packages using the regular install.packages() in an R session.

Re: [R] installing R on Ubuntu, can ignore warning messages?
It does, thank you. I was able to understand enough of it to do the install successfully . Still trying to understand the later paragraphs such as install.package() and the r-cran-foo build dependencies. (the site you pointed me to is the same site i did a printout of yesterday to try to do an install, the readme file prints to 3 pages). Is there an easy way to: 1: List the R-related packages and add-ons that are already installed? no point in trying to install what you already got! 2: List the R-related packages and add-ons that are available? Probably a big number of them? Also, for people who try Ubuntu out for the first time could be thrown for a loop by the weird way it handles the root account: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo thanks again.

Re: [R] installing R on Ubuntu, can ignore warning messages?
I should have also mentioned that you can search for r-cran in the synaptic package manage if you're more comfortable with that than the command line. This will also show you which packages are installed/available. -Ista On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 11:25 PM, Ista Zahn istaz...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 11:01 PM, Robert Wilkins robst...@gmail.com wrote: It does, thank you.
