Installing R and RStudio on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1

Originally was published in Data Analysis with R and Python, another my blog: https://cadengis.wordpress.com

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:

For correct installation of additional packages we should previously install the GNU C and C++ compilers, in our case 4.8-8.4 version:

If we will work with XML documents we should also install libxml2-devel package:

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. 

All posts express my own point of view and don't have any relations with my employer.
