Running R in Windows
Go to www.r-project.org
Click on CRAN on the left-side on the screen under DOWNLOAD
Scroll down the CRAN MIRROR SITES to a U.S. site (such as USA(NC))
Under Download and Install R, select your operating system (Linux, MacOS-X,Windows)
Click on the link labeled base
Click on the link for the current version (currently it is R-2.15.1). The current link for Windows is: R-2.15.1-win32.exe
Download R-2.11.1-win32.exe and install it on your computer
After installation, open the R workspace environment and download the DAAG and lme4 packages:
On the main toolbar click on Packages Install Package(s) Choose USA(NC) as CRAN Mirror Select DAAG
Repeat process for lme4
You may run programs in interactive mode in RGui environment, but I will not support this approach for this course, I will give all programs and suggest you run the programs in batch mode.
Running programs in batch mode
Assumptions (make any necessary changes to directories):
You have the file Rterm installed in directory C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\
You will keep and run all programs in the directory (where XXXX is your course number) C:\staXXXX\
You will keep and run all data in the directory C:\data\
Step 1: Create a batch file in the directory you will be running R from
In any text editor, create a one line program R.bat with the text (those are 2 “-“ signs before vanilla):
C:\Progra~1\R\R-2.15.1\bin\Rterm --vanilla
(Note: This will only have to be done once)
Step 2: Write your program (or download one)
In any text editor, type or edit an existing program (say progtest.r)
Begin program with the line (this will send any graphics output to a pdf file):
pdf(“progtest.pdf”)
End program with the line:
dev.off()
Step 3: Run your program
Pull up the Command Prompt under Accessories in Windows
Change to the directory with your program:
chdir staXXXX
Give the command to run your program:
R <progtest.r> progtest.out
Any text output will be written to the file progtest.out which can be input to WORD, notepad, etc.
Running programs in the R Workspace
