The Rcmdr package is a standard R package, and it installs andis loaded in the normal manner. There are, however, a few installation issues,particularly on Macintosh systems, and these are described in this document.

If you are using macOS 10.9 ('Mavericks') or later and the R Commander becomes slow or unresponsive during a session, you can run R and the R Commander in a terminal window on your Mac rather than from R.app or prevent your computer from 'napping' while R.app is running. See 'Suppressing app nap' in the installation notes above. This directory contains binaries for a base distribution and packages to run on Mac OS X (release 10.6 and above). Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 (and Mac OS X 10.1) are no longer supported but you can find the last supported release of R for these systems (which is R 1.7.1) here.

For more detailed basic installation instructions, see Ch. 2 of my book Using the R Commander.

A general point is keep in mind is that the Rcmdr package usesa number of other 'contributed' packages (in addition to packages,such as tcltk and MASS, that are part of the standard R distribution), and thesemust be present for it to work properly. Many of these packages have their own dependencies, which depend on still other packages, etc. These additional packages will either be installed along with the Rcmdr package or the Rcmdr will offer to install them when it first starts up (and you should accept the offer).

General Installation Procedure

The following instructions may be all you need to get started; for more detailed instructions and potential installation issues, see the various sections below. These instructions assume that you have an active Internet connection.

  1. Download R from CRAN and install it in the manner appropriate to your operating system. If you have an old version of R -- that is, older than the current version -- then it's generally a good idea to install the current version of R before installing the Rcmdr package. On Windows, opt for a customized startup and select the single-document interface ('SDI,' see the Windows notes below for details).
  2. On macOS only, download and install XQuartz, and reboot your computer (see the Mac notes below for greater detail).
  3. Start R, and at the > command prompt, type the command install.packages('Rcmdr')
  4. Once it is installed, to load the Rcmdr package, just enter thecommand library(Rcmdr)

General Installation Issues

Ocassionally, an R package or packages required by the Rcmdr package fails to be installed and the R Commander can't start. When this happens, there is typically an informative error message about the missing package(s). There are two common causes for this problem: (1) The package(s) in question may be temporarily missing from the CRAN mirror that you used; or (2) the package(s) may be permanently unavailable for an older version of R.

In the first instance, you can install (each) missing package directly via the command install.packages('package-name'), or, for more than one missing package, install.packages(c('package-1-name', 'package-2-name', etc)) , selecting a different CRAN mirror from the one you used initially. In the second instance, you can install the current version of R (always a good idea), and start again.

If you wish to start the R Commander automatically when R starts up, you canadd a plain-text ('ascii') file named .Rprofile to your home directory, with the following contents:

R Commander Mac Os X download free. full

local({
old <- getOption('defaultPackages')
options(defaultPackages = c(old, 'Rcmdr'))
})

Os X Download

To determine your home directory, type the command getwd() ('get working directory') at the > command prompt in a fresh R session. Be sure to use a plain-text editor to create this file, not a word processor like Word, or, if using a word processor, to save the file as a plain-text file.

Notes for specific platforms

If the general installation procedure and installation issues above are insufficient, here is specific information for Windows, Linux, and macOS systems:

Windows Installation

The easiest way to install the Rcmdr package is via the Rgui Packages -> Install packagesmenu or via the command install.packages('Rcmdr') entered at the R > command prompt. R will ask you to select a CRAN mirror; pick the first, '0-Cloud' mirror, or a mirror site near you.

When you first load the Rcmdr package with the command library('Rcmdr'), it will offer to download and install missingdependencies; allow it to do so. If you installed R in Program Files, you may prefer to run R with adminstratorprivileges to install packages: Right click the R icon and select'Run as administrator.' Otherwise, packages will be installed in a package library particular to your user account rather than the main R package library; that should work OK too. I suggest that you install R into a differentdirectory, such as C:R, to avoid this issue.

On Windows, the Rcmdr package works best with the 'single-document 'R interface (SDI). Under the default 'multiple-document interface' (MDI), R Commander dialog boxes may not stay on top of the main R window. In the Startup options screen of the R installer, select Yes (customized startup). Then select the SDI (single-document interface) in preference to the default MDI (multiple-document interface); feel free to make other changes, but you may take all the remaining defaults.

If you install R with the standard MDI, to enable the SDI you can make a copy of the R desktop icon (right-click on the icon,drag it to a different location on the desktop, select Copy Here fromthe context menu). Right-click the new icon and select Properties. Add--sdi (preceded by a space) to the Targetfield on the Shortcut tab of the Properties dialog box. The fieldshould read something like'C:Program FilesRR-x.y.zbinRgui.exe'--sdi, where x.y.z specifies the version of R you installed. If you wish, change the name of the icon on the Generaltab (e.g., to R x.y.z SDI). Click OK. Alternatively, you canyou can edit the Rconsole file in R's etc subdirectory to select the SDI.

Linux/Unix Installation

Linux/Unix systems typically have all of the software requiredfor building packages already installed. The easiest way to install the Rcmdr package is to run R as root andissue the command install.packages('Rcmdr') at the R prompt. R will ask you to select a CRAN mirror; pick the first, '0-Cloud' mirror, or a mirror site near you.

On Ubutu systems, in particular, the following procedure should work (slightly modified from a suggestion by Ista Zahn):

  1. Add the R repository to Ubuntu (see http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/).
  2. Install base R and the R dev package: sudo apt-get installr-base r-base-dev
  3. Start R from the Ubuntu command line as root so you can installpackages system-wide: sudo R
  4. From the R command prompt, install Rcmdr: install.packages('Rcmdr'). R will ask you to select a CRAN mirror; pick the first, '0-Cloud' mirror, or a mirror site near you.
It is also possible to install R and R packages from the Ubuntu package respository but these are almost always out of date.
When you first load the Rcmdr package with the command library(Rcmdr), it will offer to download and install missingdependencies; allow it to do so.

macOS Installation

These instructions are for R version 3.6.1 or later; if you're using an earlier version of R, I suggest that you upgrade (in fact, it's generally a good idea to upgrade to the current version of R), or, failing that, consult the special macOS installation notes for the R Commander under older versions of R. R 3.6.1only supports macOS version 10.11 (El Capitan) or higher. Please read these instructions carefully, as they are a little complicated.
Note that if and when you upgrade macOS, you will have to reinstall XQuartz even if you installed it previously.
install.packages('Rcmdr')
Rwill ask you to select a CRAN mirror; pick the first, '0-Cloud' mirror, or a mirror site near you.

macOS Trouble-shooting

As part of the installation process, XQuartz builds a font cache. Occasionally, the font cache isn't built on installation, and instead the cache is built when the R Commander (and hence XQuartz) is first used. This process can be time-consuming and may initially slow down the performance of the R Commander (with, e.g., dialog boxes taking a long time to display); if this problem occurs, please be patient -- the problem should resolve itself after the font cache is built.
If you are using macOS 10.9 ('Mavericks') or later and the R Commander becomes slow or unresponsive during a session, you can run R and the R Commander in a terminal window on your Mac rather than from R.app or prevent your computer from 'napping' while R.app is running. See 'Suppressing app nap' in the installation notes above. Download disney plus movies on mac.
Occasionally, the Rcmdr package will fail to load properly in macOS. When this problem occurs, the cause is almost always the failure of the tcltk package to load --The Rcmdr package depends on the tcltk package. You can confirm this diagnosis by trying to load the tcltk package directly, in a fresh R session, issuing the command library(tcltk)at the R command prompt.
You can verify the source of this problem by issuing the following command at the R command prompt:
system('ls -ld /usr/local /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libtcl*')
If there is a file-permissions problem, you should see something like
Apple mac os x download
ls: /usr/local/lib: Permission denied
ls: /usr/local/lib/libtcl*: Permission denied
drwx------ 8 root wheel 272 Sep 24 10:21 /usr/local
Having confirmed the problem, you can change the file permissions in /usr/local by opening a terminal window on your Mac (Terminal.app is in the Applications Utilities folder), and entering the following command at the $ prompt in the terminal window: The sims 3 free download for mac.
The operating system will ask you to supply your password to execute this command.

Installing Optional Pandoc and LaTeX Software

Installing R and the Rcmdr package is sufficient for creating HTML (web page) reports via the R Markdown document that the R Commander builds for each session, but if you prefer to create editable Word or Open Office documents or PDF files for reports, you will have additionally to install Pandoc and LaTeX (the latter, in conjunction with Pandoc, for PDF reports). The most convenient way to do this is via the R Commander Tools > Install auxiliary software menu (which appears only if Pandoc or LaTeX is absent).

R is an incredibly powerful open source program for statistics and graphics. It can run on pretty much any computer and has a very active and friendly support community online. Graphics created by R are extremely extensible and are used in high level publications like the New York Times (as explained by this former NYT infographic designer).
RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R. It’s basically a nice front-end for R, giving you a console, a scripting window, a graphics window, and an R workspace, among other options.
R Commander is a basic graphical user interface (GUI) for R. It provides a series of menus that allow you to run lots of statistic tests and create graphics without typing a line of code. More advanced features of R aren’t accessible through R Commander, but you can use it for the majority of your statistics. (Lots of people (like me) use R Commander as a crutch for a few months before they get the hang of the R language. As intimidating as it might be to constantly type stuff at the console, it really is a lot faster.)
However, as is the case with lots of free and open source software, it can be a little tricky to install all of these different programs and get them to work nicely together. The simple instructions below explain how to get everything working right.

Install R, RStudio, and R Commander in Windows

  1. Download R from http://cran.us.r-project.org/ (click on “Download R for Windows” > “base” > “Download R 2.x.x for Windows”)
  2. Install R. Leave all default settings in the installation options.
  3. Download RStudio from http://rstudio.org/download/desktop and install it. Leave all default settings in the installation options.
  4. Open RStudio.
  5. Go to the “Packages” tab and click on “Install Packages”. The first time you’ll do this you’ll be prompted to choose a CRAN mirror. R will download all necessary files from the server you select here. Choose the location closest to you (probably “USA CA 1” or “USA CA 2”, which are housed at UC Berkeley and UCLA, respectively).
  6. Start typing “Rcmdr” until you see it appear in a list. Select the first option (or finish typing Rcmdr), ensure that “Install dependencies” is checked, and click “Install”.
  7. Wait while all the parts of the R Commander package are installed.
  8. If you get permission errors while installing packages, close R Studio and reopen it with administrator privileges.

Install R, RStudio, and R Commander in Mac OS X

  1. Download R from http://cran.us.r-project.org/ (click on “Download R for Mac OS X” > “R-2.x.x.pkg (latest version)”)
  2. Install R.
  3. Download RStudio from http://rstudio.org/download/desktop.
  4. Install RStudio by dragging the application icon to your Applications folder.
  5. Download Tcl/Tk from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/ (click on tcltk-8.x.x-x11.dmg; OS X needs this to run R Commander.)
  6. Install Tcl/Tk.
  7. Go to your Applications folder and find a folder named Utilities. Verify that you have a program named “X11” there. If not, go to http://xquartz.macosforge.org/ and download and install the latest version of XQuartz.
  8. Open RStudio.
  9. Go to the “Packages” tab and click on “Install Packages”. The first time you’ll do this you’ll be prompted to choose a CRAN mirror. R will download all necessary files from the server you select here. Choose the location closest to you (probably “USA CA 1” or “USA CA 2”, which are housed at UC Berkeley and UCLA, respectively).
  10. Start typing “Rcmdr” until you see it appear in a list. Select the first option (or finish typing Rcmdr), ensure that “Install dependencies” is checked, and click “Install”.
  11. Wait while all the parts of the R Commander package are installed.

Open R Commander in Windows and OS X

Once you’ve installed R Commander, you won’t have to go through all those steps again! Running R Commander from this point on is simple—follow the instructions below.

Os X Version Mac For Free

If you decide to stop using R Commander and just stick with R, all you ever need to do is open RStudio—even simpler!

Mac Os X Installer Download

  1. Open R Studio
  2. In the console, type windows() if using Windows, quartz() if using Mac OS X. (This tells R Commander to output all graphs to a new window). If you don’t do this, R Commander graphs will be output to the graphics window in RStudio.
  3. Go to the “Packages” tab, scroll down to “Rcmdr,” and check the box to load the plugin. (Alternatively, type library(Rcmdr) at the console.)
