[R-SIG-Mac] Non-root OS X installation?

[boB Rudis]

Hey Branden,

This http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/149451/install-r-in-my-own-directory
has some basic steps, but the gist is to compile it from scratch (good
compile options in the homebrew recipe for R
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/blob/master/r.rb ).

I'd highly suggest getting an admin-assisted install of official/base
R. It'll only be a couple of times a year for updates but worth it for
the stability factor. You can then have all package installs be
relative to your local dir.

But you'll still need the OS X dev tools installed for non-binary
packages that need compilation, so you should also probably get that
admin-assisted installed as well.
