[R-users] R installed on (some) RAP linux boxes

[Matt Pocernich]

Hi,

R has been installed on some of RAP's linux machines.   If you are running
a woody version of Debian linux, you have access to R.

How do you know which version you are running? At a prompt type

cat /etc/debian_version

version 3.0 is woody
version 2.2 is potato

If you R installed locally, typing R will get you to the system version.
If you need to access your local version, you need to type the full path.
For example, I would need to type ~/Rsource/R-1.6.0/bin/R

Right now, libraries need to be installed by systems admin.  This may be
changed in the near future.

New users, looking to try R?

at a shell prompt, type R

# to get a list of the built in demos type

demo()

# to run a demo, type

demo("graphics")
demo("nlm")
demo("lm.glm")

The plots should appear in a seperate box, the code that generates the
figures and analysis will appear in the original screen.

More later,

Thanks,
