Mac Os X Installer Download
Installing Anaconda on Mac OS X Anaconda is a package manager, an environment manager, and Python distribution that contains a collection of many open source packages. An installation of Anaconda comes with many packages such as numpy, scikit-learn, scipy, and pandas preinstalled and is also the recommended way to install Jupyter Notebooks.
- I would like install R on my laptop Mac OS X version 10.7.3. I downloaded the last version and I double click on it and it was installed, when i start up I get the following error, I searched in internet but I could not solve the problem, any help would be appreciated. During startup - Warning messages.
- Click on the 'Download R for (Mac) OS X' link at the top of the page. Click on the file containing the latest version of R under 'Files.' Save the.pkg file, double-click it to open, and follow the installation instructions. Now that R is installed, you need to download and install RStudio. To Install RStudio.
- I have looked at the multiple sources to figure out how to install rgeos and rgdal on Mac OS X High Sierra in a way that works with Anaconda Navigator. I mention Anaconda because I want to be able to build static project-specific, package environments to ensure that my projects work 6 months from now when the dependent packages change.
Although installing R and RStudio on Mac OS X wasn’t particularly difficult, I thought I would make some notes here, in case they’re useful to someone else. These instructions make use of Homebrew, a convenient command line package manager for Mac OS X.
Homebrew
Let’s begin with some prerequisites.
The first thing you’ll need is Homebrew, which is described as ‘The missing package manager for OS X’. Once installed, Homebrew allows you to compile and install open source packages (or formulas) with a command as simple as:
where [formula] is the name of a package.
Follow the latest instructions on the Homebrew website to get that installed. Note that you may be asked to install the Xcode Command Line Tools - this will ensure that your system has a compiler, and the necessary libraries, to build other packages.
You will also need to install Homebrew Cask, which extends Homebrew with a workflow for managing Mac applications distributed as binaries:
Install XQuartz
To make the most of R’s plotting and interactive tools, you’ll also need XQuartz. Mac OS X used to include an X11 implementation out-of-the-box, but it was later released as its own open source project. You can install XQuartz as a Homebrew cask:
If instructed to restart/log out, do so. R’s X11 support relies on certain environment variables being set, which is most easily achieved with a fresh log-in.
Compile R
Install R For Mac
Although R is not available in Homebrew’s default repository, you can provide a formula for R by installing an additional ‘tap’ before installing R itself:
Now you can compile and install R itself. Note that we have to include the
--with-x11
flag so that R is compiled with X11 support:Alternatively, you can do this as a one-liner by referencing the tap in the formula name:
Either approach will ensure that all of R’s dependencies are installed.
Install RStudio
Finally, you can install RStudio. This can be installed using an official DMG file from the RStudio website, or you can install it from Homebrew Cask:
Note the inclusion of the
--appdir
option. By default, Cask formula’s will create aliases in ~/Applications
, but this option tells Homebrew to use /Applications
instead.You can check that everything is working (including X11 support) by starting RStudio and typing:
This should open a blank R Graphics window. Note that X11 support relies on certain environment variables being set, so if you have just installed XQuartz, you may need to restart your computer (or log out then log in again) to ensure that R can find X11.

That’s it! You’re ready to go.
