Rattle: Installation on Macintosh OS X (Leopard and Lion)
In short:
- Install R
- Startup R and then > install.packages("rattle")
> library("rattle")
> rattle()
The rest of the required libraries get installed as you use Rattle (including RGtk2 and the Gtk libraries).
The details are below.
1. Install Latest R
The first step is to install R
- Download and install R (version 2.14.1 is 61MB) from CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, as R-2.14.1.pkg [120118]. Choosing all the defaults on the install works just fine.
2. Install Rattle
Install Rattle using R's package manager.
-
Start R and enter the following command at the R prompt. R asks us
to nominate a CRAN mirror. Choose a nearby location.
> install.packages("rattle") -
Start Rattle by opening R and then enter the following two commands
at the R prompt. This loads the Rattle package into the library and
starts up Rattle.
> library(rattle) > rattle()
You will be asked whether to install RGtk2. Choose to do so. Rattle will ask whenever it comes across a package that is required. It installs it just once.
