Hi I am club mentor for a group of high school students learning R. The Vice President of Information Technology is hoping to broaden and deepen her skill set so she can help others. She is doing well in helping students install R on the Windows operating system. However, a few have problems installing R on mac and one student is struggling to install R on Chromebook. Is there someone who would be willing to provide some pointers?

For Mac specific issues the list R-SIG-Mac might be better. To my knowledge, R
cannot be installed on a chromebook.

Hi Michael, You have different specific R versions compatible for each OS.

Some models of Chromebooks support limited use of Linux (via the approved "Crostini" project, for personal machines, via the developer-mode "Crouton" project). I use R in Crostini regularly. In an educational setting it may be more prudent to suggest https://rstudio.cloud/ On September 25, 2020 9:43:18 AM PDT, Kevin Thorpe <kevin.thorpe at utoronto.ca> wrote:>For Mac specific issues the list R-SIG-Mac might be better.

Running R on Chromebook, is contrary to the way Chromebook is designed to work. In theory, R can be run off a server. Then people/students can not only access it from Chromebook, but from their phones. Unfortunately, this is not a topic I'm familiar with, so can't offer specifics. But, from an educational perspective, under the presumption of training students for the (emerging) "real world", the mobile/web based approach would seem more useful...

Michael, I would propose the easiest way (and appropriate in a student setting is via Homebrew (https://brew.sh/) /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)" brew install R brew cask install Rstudio and thereafter once in a while brew upgrade brew upgrade --cask brew cleanup -s and from within Rstudio Tools -> Check for Package Updates...
