=How Do I get R?=

R is freely available for download through the R project for statistical computing.

The software can be downloaded onto a PC, Linux or Mac.

The R website can seem a little daunting for first-time users. Here are the key things to do: 1. Navigate to the [|Downloads]page.

2. Find the CRAN mirror that is closest physically to you. Yes, you will need your high school geography skills here! If you are stuck, here's a map (centered on Newfoundland, where we are based). media type="googlemap" key="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=ST.+John's+Newfoundland,+Canada&sll=49.267805,-74.53125&sspn=41.311641,60.117188&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=St+John's,+Division+No.+1,+Newfoundland+and+Labrador,+Canada&ll=47.561485,-52.712675&spn=19.831716,30.058594&t=h&z=5&output=embed" width="339" height="280" align="right"

3. Select your operating system.

4. Download the " base " file for starters.

5. You probably want to download the " contrib " file as well.

That's all you need to get started. For next steps, see "Getting Started with R".
