See the R Installation and Administration manual here:

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html

Especially 

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Simple-compilation

and then, to consider machine learning applications in addition to R
core, you probably want to look at the task view to consider packages:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/MachineLearning.html

questions on the packages in the task view should probably be directed
to the package maintainers or e.g. r-help or one of the r-sig-* lists,
as appropriate.

Brian
