Using R on MacOS Catalina.....

Eberhard,

thank you so much for your quick response. 

Yes, my MacBook has only 256 GB HDD (Standard) ?
Oh, well, I know & I don?t use X-Code as well. I take the small version of that: xcode-select --install
(It installed only the command-line tools, header, etc. for using their own c-compiler)

Hm, I never used "Homebrew" - I come from the UNIX - World and I like the command-line ?.
Well, I can create the files for R via "make" - after them it breaks the installation ?

Best regards....

Matthias,

A Mac with Catalina and a small hard disk?

I use the Homebrew package manager and while there is a short delay between R and Homebrew this works out very well.  It has two options, one with out the app, which is what I use because I for GUI I use RStudio exclusively.

There is really no need to compile from source :-)-O XCode is huge, though the XCode command line tools are required.

Gruss aus dem S?den :-)-O

Hello everybody,

 

I am new at this Mailinglist and I have a question about R on MacOS 
Catalina.

On your Website I had found a package for R. If I want to install it 
on my MacBook ? the program told me, that I can?t install the software 
on an other volume like ?system??..  That is bad, because I had a 
small Volume on my MacBook ?

 

If I want to compile the R-System new with GNU-C Compiler 9.2.0 ? I 
can ?make? the files, but ?make install? return it with an ERROR.

So, did you have any ideas what kind of problems that here I had?

 

I thank you very much for your assistance and have a nice day?..
