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?..

Using R on MacOS Catalina.....

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 el

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.... Herzlichst gr??t Sie das HPC - Team i.A.

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. On Tue, Jan 28, 2020 at 9:33 AM Matthias Krawutschke <

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.

First of all 256 Gig is huge, as far as Homebrew is concerned. I have had homebrew installed even on very old systems with no more than that. Secondly, drag the sucker over to the iStore or Gravis and have them bang a proper SSD in. Been there, done that. Or, thirdly, install minimal Homebrew and then look under /usr/local and /opt, what it uses, move them to another Volume and symlink/mount them accordingly. Why is this so complicated? Not unfamiliar says the German in me. But then I am only an elderly Gynecologist not doing high performance computing. el ? Sent from Dr Lisse?s iPad Mini 5

If you say Debian, Fink is more appropriate. Fink uses apt-get and .deb format. One good thing is Fink allows you to install multiple versions of R. 2020/01/28 18:43?Byron Ellis <byron.ellis at gmail.com>????:

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:

????? 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

Patrick, thank you so much for your help /answer. But the ?official? R on this WebSite doesn?t allow to install the software on an other Volume (I wrote that in my first eMail). YES, 256 GB is a lot for a MAC, but if you have less than 50% free of your harddisk, the system goes slow, because it is a SSD ? HardDrive??? So it is better to install the software on an other HardDisk /Volume?.. and it is faster ? HomeBrew is nice, that?s right, but I don?t want to install that.

Matthias, CRAN R and all packages rely on absolute paths to the framework - that's why we don't allow any other location. However, the is nothing preventing you from moving it elsewhere and using a symlink. So your best bet is to install it and then move /Library/Frameworks/R.framework anywhere you want and create a symlink from there to the new location. If you don't even have enough space for a temporary install, you can use the tar balls provided at http://mac.r-project.org/ and unpack them on your secondary volume and create symlinks yourself. In that case, you will likely also want to create a symlink from /usr/local/bin/R to Resources/bin/R inside the framework - this is normally done by the installer script. FWIW, you can see the full postinstall script which is run by the installer here: https://svn.r-project.org/R-dev-web/trunk/QA/Simon/R-build/packaging/leopard/scripts/postflight In theory, you can also just symlink /Library/Frameworks and then install - I have not tested that but it should also work. Cheers, Simon

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.
