Using R on MacOS Catalina.....
????? I haven't followed this entire thread, but I'm running macOS 10.15.2 Catalina on a 2014 MacBookPro, and I haven't had problems downloading the latest version of R.? Roughly a month ago, I clicked "R-3.6.2.pkg" on "https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/".? It downloaded to my "Downloads" directory.? Then I double-clicked on it, and it opened.? I can't remember, but I may have had to click and drag the icon to the "Applications" folder.? And I may have had to enter my password to assure macOS that it was OK to run that application.? I may have had problems with this a few years ago, but I haven't had a problem recently.? However, I may misunderstand your question. ????? Spencer Graves

Why not use the official installer and adjust the installation path? https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ Also allows multiple versions being installed, all from the CLI (but I guess guess it's a normal desktop machine and you can just use the gui installer). 256GB is a normal size for a disk, don't see the problem. 90% of all macs probably don't have more. Homebrew R differs slightly from the official R installer and might cause problems in some cases. Matthias Krawutschke <krawutschke at uni-potsdam.de> schrieb am Di., 28. Jan. 2020, 20:15:
Thank you so much for you assistance. My problem is not solved, because I must install R, etc. on a different Volume like SYS-Volume & I can?t find this option under "homebrew".....

For me it usually had to resort to the latter when there were connectivity issues (more common in Namibia than in Potsdam :-)-O). And maybe once or twice when I wanted to try something special. It also has a 'cask' option with which it installs apps so I do brew install r brew cask install rstudio All in all rock solid. el On 28/01/2020 11:43, Byron Ellis wrote:
Homebrew is Linux-style packaging for OS X. Think of it as an equivalent to apt-get?either it will retrieve a binary or it will attempt to build one.
