So here are new steps to install R.Īlso r-studio available on the Anaconda package site downgrades the r-base from 4.0.3 to 3.6 version so I no longer suggest installing r-studio that way.

With time as my knowledge improved, I learned that conda-forge is more reliable than installing from private repositories as it is tested and reviewed thoroughly by the Conda team.

I invite others to share their experience because installation of R has been a challenge. Maintain a separate file and keep the installation commands saved to use them if the R needs to be reinstalled. R is particular about the sequence in which you install packages.You are more unlikely to undo all your efforts by doing so since it will update rcurl and everything changing their respective paths. Do not update the default packages that come with r-essentials.Generally, the Makeconf file is not empty if you do the installation in a separate environment than the default base environment. Three errors are inevitable in R the solutions to which can be found here and here.

You can run the studio by simply typing rstudio on the command line. conda install -c r r-essentials and also install rstudio to enjoy GUI experience conda install -c r rstudio.

Always install r-essentials package rather than conventional r-base to prevent yourself from the horrors curl, curl, zlib, glib brings with them in r-base.

Use conda create -n R to create new environment. Conda packages requiring my downgrade or upgrade your r-base which might cause version problems. Here are the following suggestions from my experience Being a conda user for almost a year now, I thought of making this short bulletins to keep R installation in conda tidy and error-free for beginners.
