R is special case, as we need to manage R libraries.
Package RR
contains all R stuff compiled in the installation environment. Package RRlibUtils
contains scripts used to install and upgrade R libraries.
Package RR
provides executables RR
and RRscript
— the only difference between these executables and standard R
and Rscript
is that execution is performed in environment with special directories containing available libraries.
Packages RR
and RRlibUtils
may be installed in any order, but both packages must be installed in order to make RR
usable.
Required system packages
The following system packages must be installed (using yum
):
redhat-lsb-core libtiff-devel libcurl-devel
R library versions
For R version M.N.x, libraries are installed in directories $SOFTWARE_DIR/RRlib/M.N/YYY-MM-DD
, where YYYY-MM-DD
is the date when libraries were installed/updated.
