Thank You so much, and thanks for the R Data Science :). (I'm new to R; was struggling to find some direction.) You are doing Great man, keep making such changes, cheers.
What do you do with the disk looking thing that ends up in your downloads? do you trash it? I moved mine to my desktop because I deleted it and R studio no longer worked on my mac leading me to re-install it. Not super familiar with Macs in general...
When I try to open Rstudio a box pops up with the icon and a yellow triangle with a white exclamation point behind it, what does that mean and how do I solve it?
I did follow the same steps. My air book is new and still I am getting some error. I can send the image of the error I am getting while installing rstudio
Hi Tom, thanks a lot! I followed each step, but when opening RStudio I get the following message; Unable to locate R binary by scanning standard locations. What did I do wrong?
Hmm. Can you check something? If you have been able to install R, are you able to open R directly (without RStudio)? (If not, that will mean there is a problem with the R installation; if so, that will mean you will need to tell RStudio where to find R.)
Hi, I have followed the steps in the video and downloaded R and Rstudio (same version as you) on my mac currently running on macOS Catalina 10.15.6. However, I encounter this error when I open the R application; During startup - Warning messages: 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" 5: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C" [R.app GUI 1.50 (6126) x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0] WARNING: You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters will work. Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and adjust your system preferences accordingly. [History restored from /Users/nemo/.Rapp.history]
That would be due to how R has guessed your language/locale settings. Try running system('defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8') in the RStudio 'Console' and then restart -- see if that fixes the error!
@@meredithkaan4752 R tries to adjust settings based on your language & region set in system preferences. But in some cases R does not know how to understand them and so it reverts back to the defaults. (There is a bit more info about this here: cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Internationalization-of-the-R_002eapp -- a bit of a tricky warning message!)
Hi, Tom... Thanks, this helped me a lot. BUT, when I finally click "open" after all the downloads and installs, I get a weird error message. It won't open. Sigh.
You can run R by itself, for example in a terminal window. For everyday purposes, RStudio is the best tool to write and run R code (I use it all the time, and it's free). To make that work, you need to install *both* R (the programming language) and then RStudio (the tool to work with the programming language).
