Installing R

To install R we should open software manager: "Main menu -> System -> YaST -> Software -> Software Management", type R-base in the search field, then click on the "Search" button, mark checkboxes for R-base and R-base-devel packages and click on the "Accept" button:

Installing RStudio

Open RStudio download page and choose appropriate installer, for example RStudio 0.99.489 - Fedora 19+/RedHat 7+/openSUSE 13.1+ (64-bit), then download file rstudio-0.99.489-x86_64.rpm, in our case. When file will be downloaded, open Konsole (or Terminal) go to the directory with that file and type a command

sudo zypper install rstudio-0.99.489-x86_64.rpm

When the installation process will be finished we can open RStudio IDE with "Main menu -> Development -> RStudio":

After running the RStudio main window should look like one:

My blog about GIS, spatial data and tools

This is my blog about spatial data and spatial analysis using open source GIS and open programming tools like R and Python languages. These tasks are the main fields of my professional activity at the moment. I hope my articles will be interesting for others too.

Sometimes I'm also going to publish some personal notes because a lot of events happen in everyone's life and often we would like to share them with friends.
