Need help for R install

[Cao, Renzhi (MU-Student)]

Dear R committee:
       I am Renzhi, Ph.D student in computer science in the University of Missouri. I have one question for you. I try to install R in the linux server, but I don't have the root permission, is there any way to install the R locally?
        Thank you very much for helping me.

Hy,
I don't think there is a committee here but I'll try to help you
nevertheless:

If you don't have root permissions you can still install R in several ways:
1. Build it by yourself. If you have a compiler installed, you can build
R from source. See [1] for a manual.

2. Install a virtual machine where you can install your own Linux and
have root rights. You can use Virtual Box for this.

I hope this helps!
Dominik

It should certainly be possible to install to some directory where you
have write permissions, but the exact specifics will depend on which
Linux you're using.

There are R-SIG-Debian and R-SIG-Fedora lists which can give OS
specific advice, but it might be easier just to talk to your IT folks.
I'm not familiar enough with all the Linux package managers to know
which give you the choice of where to install.

As Dominik noted, assuming you have a fortran and a c compiler
available, you should be able to build in a directory where you have
write permissions.

Best,
Michael

Please do not answer directly to the people but answer to the list
instead so everybody sees your mail.

You can change the target directory using the --prefix= command line
parameter of the ./configure script.
