[R] running R UNIX in a mac computer

[Ulises Mora Alvarez]

Hola!

If you are already using Panther with  R.dmg, then is pretty straight 
forward to use a "Unix" package (panther it's a kind of Unix). If the 
package is already on CRAN, all you have to do is to search the package 
(either from the command line or from  the menus) and then install. If 
what you are looking for isn't not on CRAN, but it's available as a *.tgz 
or tar.gz or as a collection of files, you can use "Install from local 
files" in the "Packages" menu.  

Good look.


PS. Yes, I should be watching soccer (I'm getting my degree at the UNAM), 
but I decided to sacrifice the first half... After all, the final match 
will be on Sunday and the meeting with my committee is close, very 
close... Best regards.
