Installing on GNU/Linux

Debian GNU/Linux is perhaps the premier GNU/Linux system. R has been packaged for Debian by Dirk Eddelbuettel, and is part of the main Debian distribution. To install, enter the following command into a terminal window::

$ wajig install r-recommended

This will install a basic system. There are though over 95 individual R packages to add to your installation as you need. These include, for example:

$ wajig install r-cran-cluster r-cran-hmisc r-cran-rcmdr r-cran-rpart

To install most of those available:

$ wajig listnames ^r- > Rpackages
$ wajig install-file Rpackages

Other packages can be installed from the CRAN archives directly. See Section 1.4.2 for details.
