Oracle R Distribution version 3.1.1 has been released to Oracle's public yum today. R-3.1.1 (code name "Sock it to Me") is an update to R-3.1.0 that consists mainly of bug fixes. It also includes enhancements related to accessing package help files, improved accuracy when importing data with large integers, and better integration with RStudio graphics. The full list of new features and bug fixes is listed in the NEWS file.
To install Oracle R Distribution using yum, follow the instructions in the Oracle R Enterprise Installation and Administration Guide.
Installing using yum will resolve any operating system dependencies automatically. As such, we recommend using yum to install Oracle R Distribution. However, if yum is not available, you can install Oracle R Distribution RPMs directly using RPM commands.
For Oracle Linux 5, the Oracle R Distribution RPMs are available in the Enterprise Linux Add-Ons repository:
R-devel-3.1.1-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
libRmath-3.1.1-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
libRmath-devel-3.1.1-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
libRmath-static-3.1.1-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
For Oracle Linux 6, the Oracle R Distribution RPMs are available in the Oracle Linux Add-Ons repository:
R-3.1.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
R-core-3.1.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
R-devel-3.1.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
libRmath-3.1.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
libRmath-devel-3.1.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
libRmath-static-3.1.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
For example, this command installs the R 3.1.1 RPM on Oracle Linux x86-64 version 6:
rpm -i R-3.1.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
To complete the Oracle R Distribution 3.1.1 installation, repeat this command for each of the 6 RPMs, resolving dependencies as required.
Oracle R Distribution 3.1.1 is not yet officially certified with Oracle R Enterprise. Refer to Table 1-2 in the Oracle R Enterprise Installation Guide for supported configurations of Oracle R Enterprise components, or check this blog for updates. The Oracle R Distribution 3.1.1 binaries for Windows, AIX, Solaris SPARC and Solaris x86 will be available on OSS, Oracle's Open Source Software portal, in the coming weeks.
