Installing statistical software R for Mac OS X.
We will begin by opening a web browser like Safari and navigating to
R-project.org. This will be the main web site for the R
project. And we will choose to download R.
When selecting a[INAUDIBLE] mirror, choose from a location that is closest to
you. For us, it will be here at the University
of Toronto in Canada. We will choose to download R for Mac OSX,
and select the latest version of the R software.
You can see the progress of your download in the top right hand corner.
Once the software has finished downloading you will want to double click
on the downloaded package. And follow the on screen installation
instructions. You will have to agree to the terms of
the software license agreement, choose to install for all users of the computer,
and finally, click on install. You will need your administrative
password to allow for the installation fo the software.
Once this software's successfully installed, we can close this window.
And open the R software. In a find window, navigate to
applicaitons, and scroll down to find R. You have the option of using R, or R 64
bit. On newer software's, R 64 bit is
recommended. This is the R console where we will type
all of our commands. We are now ready to start using R.
