Hello,
To obtain the latest R packages, add an entry like:
deb http://my.favorite.cran.mirror/bin/linux/ubuntu feisty/
in your /etc/apt/sources.list file ::
* First open a terminal (Applications - Accessories - terminal).
* Then open /etc/apt/sources.list with root privileges: type in the terminal
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
You will need to give your user password (this assumes you are a user with
root privileges) and then the file will load in the editor "gedit".
Save the file and exit gedit
To install the complete R system, use
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base
Users who need to compile packages should also install the r-base-dev
package:
sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
After that, you start R from the terminal by typing (capital! Linux is case
sensitive!)
R
Now, the terminal prompt changes into the R prompt >. If you now type
demo(graphics)
and the graphics demo runs as expected, you are pretty much sure that your
installation is OK.
After this procedure, your R installation will eventually be updated
automatically through Ubuntu's update manager.
Best Regards,
Adnen CHOCKRI
