R — Biostatistics

Running the R Console application on PC

By


The R Console window looks the same on PC and Mac.

 

If you are having great difficulty in creating your R script or saving your result in a text file because your R screen looks very different than that shown in the R videos, that probably means that you are not using the R Console application — you are using RStudio instead.

 

So first, you need to locate the R Console application on your PC.
  • Look for the R Console application icon, which looks different than the RStudio icon.
  • If you still can’t find it, then read quickly the section “How to check if R is installed on a Windows PC”.
  • If you are still confused, watch a short segment of this video. Start watching from the time mark 0:40 (just watch a few seconds).

 

  • Your R application is probably called R i384 or R x64 or something similar (depending on what you downloaded for your PC).

 

Hope this helps. If not, email me with your screenshots so that I can troubleshoot with you.
