  I haven't followed this entire thread, but I'm running macOS 10.15.2 Catalina on a 2014 MacBookPro, and I haven't had problems downloading the latest version of R.  Roughly a month ago, I clicked "R-3.6.2.pkg" on "https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/".  It downloaded to my "Downloads"

Why not use the official installer and adjust the installation path? https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ Also allows multiple versions being installed, all from the CLI (but I guess guess it's a normal desktop machine and you can just use the gui installer). 256GB is a normal size for a disk,

If you say Debian, Fink is more appropriate. Fink uses apt-get and .deb format. One good thing is Fink allows you to install multiple versions of R. 2020/01/28 18:43、Byron Ellis のメール: > Homebrew is Linux-style packaging for OS X. Think of it as an equivalent to > apt-get—either it will retriev

First of all 256 Gig is huge, as far as Homebrew is concerned. I have had homebrew installed even on very old systems with no more than that. Secondly, drag the sucker over to the iStore or Gravis and have them bang a proper SSD in. Been there, done that. Or, thirdly, install minimal Homebrew a

Thank you so much for you assistance. My problem is not solved, because I must install R, etc. on a different Volume like SYS-Volume & I can´t find this option under "homebrew". Best regards from Berlin, Germany Herzlichst grüßt Sie das HPC - Team Matthias Krawutschke Universität Potsd

For me it usually had to resort to the latter when there were connectivity issues (more common in Namibia than in Potsdam :-)-O). And maybe once or twice when I wanted to try something special. It also has a 'cask' option with which it installs apps so I do brew install r brew cask install rstud

Homebrew is Linux-style packaging for OS X. Think of it as an equivalent to apt-get—either it will retrieve a binary or it will attempt to build one. On Tue, Jan 28, 2020 at 9:33 AM Matthias Krawutschke < krawutsc...@uni-potsdam.de> wrote: > Eberhard, > > thank you so much for your quick response

Eberhard, thank you so much for your quick response. Yes, my MacBook has only 256 GB HDD (Standard) ☹ Oh, well, I know & I don´t use X-Code as well. I take the small version of that: xcode-select --install (It installed only the command-line tools, header, etc. for using their own c-compiler)

Matthias, A Mac with Catalina and a small hard disk? I use the Homebrew package manager and while there is a short delay between R and Homebrew this works out very well. It has two options, one with out the app, which is what I use because I for GUI I use RStudio exclusively. There is really no

Hello everybody, I am new at this Mailinglist and I have a question about R on MacOS Catalina. On your Website I had found a package for R. If I want to install it on my MacBook – the program told me, that I can´t install the software on an other volume like “system”….. That is bad, because
