How to install R application on ubuntu machine to install and run Bioconductor on ubuntu machine

Hi,

The current release of Bioconductor is version 2.12; it works with R version 3.0.1.

So we have to install or upgrade the R on the machine.

1) So first download the latest R package using the command.

wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/140308028/r-base_3.0.1.orig.tar.gz

2) Extract it to the machine using the command  tar -xvzf r-base_3.0.1.orig.tar.gz


3)cd R-3.0.1/

change into the extracted directory and then run the following commands.


 ./configure

 make

 make install

 This will install the R on the machine

You can check the version by issuing the command

R --version

4)Now we have to install Bioconductor.

So just get into the R console using the command

R

and then run the following commands in it.

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

This will automatically install the required package for Bio conductor on the ubuntu machine.
