Hello, I wanted to download the latest version of R program; a link sent me to a page with these downloadable links. Should I download all of them? or just the first one in the list (R-2.0.1.ter.gz). Which I did but couldn't install it! Is there anyone who can explain this to me? Thank you very much for your help Raouf Alami AECOM Bronx, NY R-2.0.1.tar.gz 15-Nov-2004 15:19 10.2M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.aa 15-Nov-2004 15:22 1.4M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.ab 15-Nov-2004 15:22 1.4M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.ac 15-Nov-2004 15:22 1.4M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.ad 15-Nov-2004 15:22 1.4M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.ae 15-Nov-2004 15:22 1.4M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.af 15-Nov-2004 15:22 1.4M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.ag 15-Nov-2004 15:22 1.4M R-2.0.1.tar.gz-split.ah 15-Nov-2004 15:22 596k --------------------------------- Dress up your holiday email, Hollywood style.

If you go to http://cran.r-project.org you will see a list of links. Without more info it is difficult to guess what platform you are using but for some reason I am guessing that you are using Windows. In that case you are interested in a "pre-compiled binary". Click on the link saying "Windows 95 or later". From then on it should be a breeze. The link you got is for the source code for R, which you might find useful in case you are using a *NIX system. On the site mentioned above you will find a "R-FAQ", and on http://www.bionconductor.org you will find a Bioconductor FAQ and a HOWTO document. Please read all of this if you have any problems with the installation. And please do it before posting to the mailing list. Finally, this mailing list is for discussing Bioconductor, not R. Please use the appropriate mailing list for your questions.
