Set Up R for Kepler on MS Windows

Install R 3.0

Even if you have The R Environment for Statistical Computing and Graphics installed we recommend you upgrade to version 3.0 because new packages from there will not work with R 2.15 etc.

Register R in the PATH so that Kepler can find it

This tutorial assumes windows 7 and a user without administrator privileges.

It won’t be recognised on your PATH

Because you are not admin it will not be in your path. Check this by opening the terminal (Run > cmd) and then type R.
