Hello, Is R very compatible with a Mac?
Very compatible. I have been using it as my work machine for the last 2.75 years and several of the regular contributors to rhelp are also running Macs. Rock-solid. Better memory management than Windows XP or Vista. Simon Urbanek (and his collaborators) deserves a huge amount of thanks for the fine work he has done.
The R-Mac SIG is the place for mac-specific question, though: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
A colleague of mine indicated that everyone he knows with a Mac has problems with R.
He needs more sophisticated friends :-)
What can you tell me about using R with a Mac. What do I need to download?
There is a section in the installation document: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-Mac-OS-X
I have downloaded the basic R package.
That is not exactly specific enough to advise whether you got the correct bundle for your machine. Be sure to read the installation document carefully. No shortcuts.
