| + | ====== How-to install R on CentOS ====== | ||
| + | by "kOoLiNuS" | ||
| + | |||
| + | How-to install the open source statistical tool and relative developement libraries R on CentOS release 4 and 5. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Personally I’ve tried it successfully on CentOS 5. | ||
| + | |||
| + | CentOS today does not provide any build of this tool in it’s official and semi-official repositories but, luckily the R-project itselfs provides the binaries for the most common GNU/Linux distributions (and for Windows or Mac OS X, alongside with the sources) on it’s mirror network. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There you can find binary rpms and also yum metadata, so you can create a .repo file for and organic and integrated use of those inside the YUM package manager. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So here’s the R.repo file I’ve created for myself: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | [R-project] | ||
| + | name=R project for Statistical Computing repository | ||
| + | baseurl=http://rm.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CRAN/bin/linux/redhat/el5/i386 | ||
| + | failovermethod=priority | ||
| + | enabled=1 | ||
| + | gpgcheck=0 | ||
| + | priority=15 | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Maybe it’s necessary a quick note on gpgcheck=0 since I was not able to find the GPG key of the rpms (maybe they’re not available ???) and on priority=15 since i use yum-priorities to protect the official core of the distro. | ||
