Hello everybody,
I'm trying to install rJava to use JRI in a Java program as JRI is a part of
rJava. There should be the option to install this package via
install.packages("rJava"). Unfortunately I'm connected to the
internet via a proxy. I have no idea how to tell R to connect via the proxy. The
R-help tells me something about environment variables like
"http_proxy". But I have no idea how and where to set these variable
as I'm new to R. I don't know whether this is the right way to solve my
problem.
Is there anyone out there who knows how to solve this problem? Any help is
appreciated.
Thank in advance

What operating system do you use? If you use Windows, than open the Control Panel, double click on the System icon, go to "Advanced" tab, press "Environment variables" button, then press "New" to create one more new variable, enter "http_proxy" as the "Name" of variable, and "http://address.of.your.proxy:port" as its value. In unix you should consult with your shell manual for the proper command and proper startup script file (in bash, this would be export and ~/.bash_profile) You also could use Sys.putenv R function Erbe, Nicole wrote:> > I'm trying to install rJava to use JRI in a Java program as JRI is a part > of rJava.
