Hi!

2012/5/23 Soheila Khodakarim <lkhodakarim at gmail.com>:
Usually in Linux you need to give an installation command such as
"apt-get install ...."  The OS will then grab it from a repository for
you and install it.  It depends on the Linux distribution.

What have you tried?

For what it's worth, I always compile from source on Linux.  To do that,
download the source tarball, unpack it and then run the following in the
directory the tarball unpacked to.  For this to work, you will probably
need the devel libraries installed on your system.

./configure
make
make install

Note that you will usually need to run "make install" as root, unless
you modify the installation location.

One reason I do this is, that I figure if my system has the tools
to compile R, I likely won't have concerns about installing packages
that require some compilation as well.
