[R] Fw: Downloading R

[MacQueen, Don]

Hmmm. Follow the instructions at
   http://www.r-project.org/


After choosing a mirror, you will reach a page that says, in part:

---- partial quote ----
Source Code for all Platforms

Windows and Mac users most likely want to download the precompiled
binaries listed in the upper box, not the source code. The sources have to
be compiled before you can use them. If you do not know what this means,
you probably do not want to do it!

    The latest release (2015-04-16, Full of Ingredients) R-3.2.0.tar.gz,
read what's new in the latest version.
---- end partial quote ----




Then click the link labeled "R-3.2.0.tar.gz"
