Hello, My apologies if this is not the right place to post this question. I need to get R installed on a Linux Red Hat server. I have very limited exposure to R and would appreciate some basic guidance if you could point me to resources describing the process, requirements, etc. Thank you in advance for any help. Best, Axel.

The EPEL, which is how you would obtain pre-compiled binary RPMs of R. You will need to have root permissions on the server in order to do this. Once their yum repos are configured on your server, 'sudo yum install R' is essentially what you would need. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL 2. The R Installation and Administration Manual, which will provide some guidance, in the Linux section and in the appendices (primarily A) for additional items that may be relevant: http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html 3. The R-SIG-Fedora list, which is focused on the use of R on RH and derivative (eg. Fedora) Linux distributions. Follow up questions should be posted there, ideally after you subscribe, lest you be subject to on-going moderation (speaking as a co-moderator of that list). https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora Regards, Marc Schwartz
"Use your package manager" seems like a good place to start. Googling "install R redhat" seems like another good starting point. I think for RedHat you'll probably want the EPEL repo.

Axel, I am running SL 6.5. I use EPEL for R related things without much hassle.

In contrast to using a package manager as others have suggested, you can download the "Source Code for all Platforms" from CRAN (currently R-3.1.3.tar.gz), unpack it somewhere, and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file. This has worked well for me. I don't advise one method in preference to the other. But I will mention that when I first started installing R on RedHat, quite a few years ago, I found it easier to install from sources (for reasons that I won't mention because I have no idea if they are still valid). -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 3/12/15, 1:39 PM, "Axel Urbiz" <axel.urbiz at gmail.com> wrote:>Hello, > >My apologies if this is not the right place to post this question. > >I need to get R installed on a Linux Red Hat server.
