a) Install JDK, download jdk-7u71-linux-x64.tar.gz
use root to do
tar -zxvf jdk-7u71-linux-x64.tar.gz
mv jdk1.7.0_71 /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_71/
Configure Java_home and Classpath in /etc/profile
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_71
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/bin/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
1: Obtain R source code
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/R-3.1.1.tar.gz
2: Create a directory in which you want to install R, e.g. /usr/R/. You can also use this directory for all other custom software you install.
3: Extract the tar.gz file you downloaded using tar
tar ¨Czvxf R-3.1.1.tar.gz
4: Go into the R-3.1.1 directory. Give the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/R/ --enable-R-shlib
Remark: --enable-R-shlib can ensure the installation for rJava
If there existing errors:
4.1 congigure: error: gcc compiler
yum install gcc
4.2 configure: error: No F77 compiler found, then use the following to install gcc-fortran
yum install gcc-gfortran
4.3 configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
yum install glibc-headers
yum install gcc-c++
4.4 configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available
yum install readline-devel
4.5 configure: error: -¨Cwith-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available
yum install libXt-devel
5: Install R
make
make install
6: Add /usr/R/bin/ to your PATH environment variable. Easiest is to add a line to your etc/profile or .bashrc
export PATH=/usr/R/bin/:$PATH
7: Ensure Java install on your linux and make sure the following configuration for R and Java.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_71
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/bin/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
export R_HOME=/usr/R/lib64/R
export R_DOC=$R_HOME/doc
export R_INCLUDE_DIR=$R_HOME/include
export R_SHARE_DIR=$R_HOME/share
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$R_HOME/lib
