Vanilla Version of R GUI interface is not that appealing and it is a little cumbersome. So, an alternative is to use RStudio. RStudio is a development environment for R with a nice front-end.It has a console where we can type in the commands, a scripting window, a graphics window, and an R workspace.
Problem:
Install RStudio on Mac OSx
Solution:
-
Download R from CRAN and install R on your Mac. Steps are mentioned in one of my previous post here.
-
Go to the Homepage of RStudio
-
Click on the Download Link under Studio
-
Click on the Download Link under “RStudio Desktop”
-
List of Installers will be displayed. Select The version for Mac and a .dmg file will be downloaded
3. Install RStudio from the downloaded .dmg file
4. Drag the Studio(R) icon to the Applications folder
5. Open RStudio and you are all set to start your coding.
Happy Coding!
