[R] Error messages when start first time R: "You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters will work."
Hi! I just started this course and just installed R and RStudio but I got this warning/error messages when I open R and RStudio: During startup - Warning messages: 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" 5: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C" [R.app GUI 1.67 (7152) x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0] WARNING: You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters will work. Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and adjust your system preferences accordingly. Section 9 is just Acknowledgements so I cant find the help the software refer to. Please, can anyone help me with this? It seems important to get this fixed before I do work with RStudio. Thanks a lot! Appreciate very much any help. Cheers Ole [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

1. These are warnings, not error. So you could just ignore them and proceed. 2. However, you may wish to go to the tools -->General menu in RStudio and set the default text encoding to UTF-8. I think that will get rid of the warnings. Happy R-ing. Please make use of R's docs and web resources (especially tutorials) before posting on this list, as most questions you might have should be quickly answerable from them.

However, that particular issue is just that the FAQ was edited and it ws forgotten to update the warning message. The instructions are in Sec.7 now. -pd> During startup - Warning messages: > > 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" > > 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" > > 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" > > 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" > > 5: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C" > > [R.app GUI 1.67 (7152) x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0] > > WARNING: You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters will work. > > Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and adjust your system preferences accordingly. > > Section 9 is just Acknowledgements so I cant find the help the software refer to. > > Please, can anyone help me with this?
