I recently installed the R extension on a Mac. I followed the onscreen instructions. The only thing I had to do that required a little "look up" on my part was editing my .profile text file.

I still can't get it to work on my MacBook Air running OS X 10.10.2

I had installed the R extension once before but never got it to work successfully. I tried it again and here are my steps.

1. Installed RapidMiner
2. Installed R
3. Installed RStudio
4. Opened RStudio
5. > install.packages(c(“rJava”, “JavaGD”))
> library(rJava)
> library(JavaGD)
6. opened Terminal
7. $ cd ~/
$ touch .bash_profile
$ open -e .bash_profile
8. added the following lines to .bash_profile
export R_HOME=/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
--- or ---
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.6)
9. $ . .bash_profile
10. checked my work by
$ echo $R_HOME
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
<<<I also tried version 1.7>>>
11. started RapidMiner and the R console did not show up
12. removed the R extension
13. shut down and restarted RapidMiner
14. installed the R extension
15. went into preferences, hit the R tab
16. set the JRI library files to
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/rJava/jri/libjri.jnilib
15. shut down and restarted RapidMiner
16. still no R console

Hi,

sadly installing the old R extension can be a pain or simply refuse to work for some reasons. I'm afraid I don't know hot to help you with your exact problem right now, but we have been working on something which will make using R (and getting it to work in the first place) significantly easier, and it's not far away.
All I can say right now is: stay tuned for the next Studio release coming very soon

Regards,
Marco

Hi Marco,

That's good news. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi,

the new Studio release 6.4.0 is now live. I suggest downloading the all new OSX application and then searching our Marketplace for "R Scripting". This is the new extension which allows you to integrate R scripts into your process workflow without much hassle.
The old R Extension is no longer supported going forward from Studio 6.4 and will only remain for Studio 6.3 and earlier.

Regards,
Marco
