Installing R with Homebrew
homebrew, r
Solution
As of 2017 / Brew 1.3.2 @ macOS Sierra 10.12.6 all you have to do is:
$ brew install r
You don't even need to tap homebrew/science since r is now a part of core formulae for the Homebrew (homebrew-core).
It will also install all dependencies automatically:
==> Installing dependencies for r: gmp, mpfr, libmpc, isl, gcc
There are two additional options you might want to know:
--with-java
Build with java support
--with-openblas
Build with openblas support
Problem
I'm trying to install R using Homebrew. I ran these commands which are recommended elsewhere on SO: ``` brew tap homebrew/science brew install R ``` For `brew tap homebrew/science`, I'm receiving this error: ``` Error: Already tapped! ``` For the second command, I receive this: ``` Error: No available formula for r ``` Any suggestions?
