Non-root OS X installation?
Hey Branden, This http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/149451/install-r-in-my-own-directory has some basic steps, but the gist is to compile it from scratch (good compile options in the homebrew recipe for R https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/blob/master/r.rb ). I'd highly suggest getting an admin-assisted install of official/base R. It'll only be a couple of times a year for updates but worth it for the stability factor. You can then have all package installs be relative to your local dir. But you'll still need the OS X dev tools installed for non-binary packages that need compilation, so you should also probably get that admin-assisted installed as well. -Bob

Greetings. I am getting a new mac procured through my company, and I am pretty sure I?m not going to have local administrator access to it. Is there a clean way to install R locally for one user, including all the packages that might be required, so that I don?t need admin access? thx. Regards, Branden R.
