These are some installation notes for R, on yum repository. The software has been installed and configured to run on a CentOS 6.4 machine, 64 bit. Precis manual is public available and downloadable from:
http://www.r-project.org/
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum install R
http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html
Edit a file 'test.R' and paste the following:
sayHello <- function(){
print('hello')
}
sayHello()
Then run the following command:
Rscript test.R
Note that when using 'R CMD BATCH test.R', instead of redirecting it to standard output and displaying it on the terminal a new file called test.Rout will be created.
R CMD BATCH test.R
# Check the output
cat test.Rout
