Hi: I have a question about installing R (and modules) on a Unix system (AIX). Can I just gunzip (or the equivalent) the installation files into my home directory or will I need someone with root access to install R? I am hoping that the answer is the former (I can unzip all files to a directory R that I create under my home directory and I can start using it). Could you please help me with this and any other instructions to install R and modules when you do not have root access? Thanks. Satish
Installing R and modules on Unix OS

The manual
R Installation and Administration
available from CRAN should help with this.
I believe that one needs sys admin privileges for the default
location, but that it is not difficult to change. (and it's
"packages", not "modules")
