Re: [R] JGR not installed. Attempting to install from CRAN...

2018-02-20 Thread Jenny Coetzee 
thanks Loris

you are bering so helpful!

So, i have done what you explained, but the RDS package that runs “using or 
through” R is now just closing each time i open it. I have googled and seen 
that i need to to the following:

 Tips: The recent updates to the Apple Mac OS (Sierra and High Sierra) have 
reorganized the ways apps, like RDS Analyst, work. So sometimes RDS Analyst 
will not be configured correctly and will not start (e.g., bouncing icon or no 
response to double clicking). Most of these relate to how Java works on the 
Mac. The first thing to try is to open the Terminal and type in :
R CMD javareconf
This asks R to check on the configuration of Java and try to get in sync with 
it.
off website:
http://wiki.stat.ucla.edu/hpmrg/index.php/RDS_Analyst_Install


BUT, when i do enter  R CMD javareconf, i get the following error:
Error: unexpected symbol in "R CMD”

so what should i do now?

thanks


Jen

It shouldn't really matter, although I'd choose one that is
geographically close.  Occasionally there can be problems with HTTP
vs. HTTPS, which can lead to spurious errors about a packages not being
available for your version of R.  Because R caches the mirror, if you
run into any issues you might have to exit R and start again.

Cheers,

I'll have to guess now, because I don't know much about Macs or Java.  I
assume there is something wrong with your java installation.  You can
check by writing the following in a terminal:

  java -version

If the output of this isn't something sensible, then you probably need
to (re-)install Java.

Otherwise there is some information here (Point 3. "Configure Java for
R"):

  
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSPT3X_3.0.0/com.ibm.swg.im.infosphere.biginsights.install.doc/doc/install_install_r.html

If that doesn't help (and probably even if it does) you should consider
joining the RDS Users Group, if you haven't already:

Dear Jenny

From your email address I would have thought one of the two South 
African ones would be best. In the unlikely event of your chosen mirror 
not being up-to-date, try another one.

Hello

I am new to R, and am running a programme called RDS Analyst which

I am not sure if the issue is a Java one or an R one…

I am working off a Mac using High Sierra

Any help please..?

Here

  http://rforge.net/JGR/

it says that you need two bits: the R package from CRAN and the launcher
for MacOS.  You should be able to install the R package using

  install.packages("JGR")

from the R shell and the launcher just like a regular binary.

Cheers,
