Adding R scripting to your installation


Two big installation platforms are macOS and Windows. There are separate but similar steps for making R scripting available in your Jupyter installation.

Adding R scripts to Jupyter on macOS

If you are operating on macOS, you can add R Scripting using the following command:

conda install -c r r-essentials

This will start off with a large installation of the R environment, which contains a number of common packages:
