Windows

In this section, you will be installing R onto your Mac computer.

  1. First, you will need to head to the official CRAN (Comprehensive R Archive Network) website: CRAN

  2. On the CRAN website, find the link that is closest to your geographical location. In Atlanta, GA, this would be the National Institute for Computational Sciences in Oak Ridge, TN. This is under the "USA" section, near the bottom of the page. Click the link on the website associated with that location.

  3. Once you are on the download website, click “Download R-4.3.1 for Windows

    This will download the most recent version of R.

  4. Open the installer for R either through your downloads folder, or from your web browser’s downloads section. For Google Chrome click the downwards facing arrow in a circle in the top left corner.

  5. Having opened the R installer click through the installation guide. Adjust installation settings to your liking. Typically hitting “next” throughout the installation setup will be fine, and give you the R default settings.
