#Downloading r and rstudio for mac install#
Once you’ve downloaded the file, double click to install it. The file for version 3.0.2 is about 54MB in size, so it may take some time depending on how fast your internet connection is. Click on that and your browser should start downloading a file called R-3.0.2-win.exe, or whatever the equivalent version number is by the time you read this. This will take you to a page that has a prominent link at the top called “Download R 3.0.2 for Windows”.
Again, at the very top of the page you’ll be told to click on a link that says to click here if you’re installing R for the first time. If you click on that, it will take you to a page that offers you a few options. In general you’ll find a link at the top of the page with the text “Download R for Windows”. But it’s not difficult to find what you’re after. The CRAN homepage changes from time to time, and it’s not particularly pretty, or all that well-designed quite frankly. As of this writing, the current version of R is 3.0.2 (Frisbee Sailing“), but they usually issue updates every six months, so you’ll probably have a newer version. If you follow the relevant link, you’ll see that the online instructions are pretty self-explanatory, but I’ll walk you through the installation anyway.
Anyway, R is freely distributed online, and you can download it from the R homepage, which is:Īt the top of the page – under the heading “Download and Install R” – you’ll see separate links for Windows users, Mac users, and Linux users. Or something along those lines: I may be confusing computers with the iPad marketing campaigns. Just as with any piece of software, R needs to be installed on a “computer”, which is a magical box that does cool things and delivers free ponies.
