Hi,

Pointers to some references:

1. The EPEL, which is how you would obtain pre-compiled binary RPMs of R. You will need to have root permissions on the server in order to do this. Once their yum repos are configured on your server, 'sudo yum install R' is essentially what you would need.

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL


2. The R Installation and Administration Manual, which will provide some guidance, in the Linux section and in the appendices (primarily A) for additional items that may be relevant:

  http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html


3. The R-SIG-Fedora list, which is focused on the use of R on RH and derivative (eg. Fedora) Linux distributions. Follow up questions should be posted there, ideally after you subscribe, lest you be subject to on-going moderation (speaking as a co-moderator of that list).
