You may follow the manual on the topic "installing R under Unix-alike".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can download the source from:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
https://cran.r-project.org/sources.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
||
|
|
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.2.0.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
#+end_example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, use "tar" to extract the source and build it. Suppose that you are installing
|
||
|
|
R 4.2:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
||
|
|
tar -xf R-4.2.0.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
#+end_example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to a directory where you will install R. The path shouldn't contain spaces.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
||
|
|
./configure
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
#+end_example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
||
|
|
make check
|
||
|
|
#+end_example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to install all the R tree (binaries, manuals, libraries...):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
#+end_example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install packages in R, you can use the function "install.packages()" with the
|
||
|
|
name of the file ('...tar.gz') to be installed and the argument "repos" set as "NULL"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also install the packages from a shell:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+begin_example R
|
||
|
|
R CMD INSTALL -l /path/to/library packagename
|
||
|
|
#+end_example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
