(Don't be surprised by the message key E084DAB9: public key "Michael Rutter " imported. Sudo apt-key adv -keyserver -recv-keys E084DAB9 Sudo echo "deb xenial/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list You'll need to run these three commands as root, so enter the password you created above here if requested:
You probably want the latest version of R, so add CRAN as a new package repository for Ubuntu. You'll automatically log in when you launch new Ubuntu sessions, but make sure you remember the password - you'll need it later.įrom here you can go ahead and install R, but if you use the default Ubuntu repository you'll get an old version of R (R 3.2.3, from 2015). This is your Linux username, different from your Windows username. The first time you launch, it will take a few minutes to install various components, and you'll also need to create a username and password. Once that's installed you can launch Ubuntu from the Start menu (just like any other app) to open a new bash shell window. I'm using "Ubuntu", which as of this writing is Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus). If you search for "Linux" in the store, you'll find an entry "Run Linux on Windows" which will provide you with the available distributions.
Next, you'll need to install your preferred distribution of Linux from the Microsoft Store. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows Features on or off (or just type "Windows Features" into the search box), and select the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" option. This page provides the details on installing Linux on Windows, but here are the basic steps you need and how to get the latest version of R up and running within it.įirst, Enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux option. And that's because this is a Linux system: the Windows Subsystem for Linux is a complete Linux distribution running within Windows. Once you have things set up, you can launch a bash shell and run R at the terminal like you would in any Linux system. If you need access to the gcc toolchain for building R packages, or simply prefer the bash environment, it's easy to get things up and running. R has been available for Windows since the very beginning, but if you have a Windows machine and want to use R within a Linux ecosystem, that's easy to do with the new Fall Creator's Update (version 1709).
