Recently, we have introduced "last-success" binaries which are always available (even if the nightly build fails) and intended mostly for CI/CD automated systems to install latest versions. If you see any issues with the builds, please contact Simon Urbanek (the macOS maintainer of R) or report on the R-SIG-Mac mailing list.įor old OS X El Capitan nightly builds of R 3.x.x please see the old OS X builds page. It is optional (only needed for the tcltk R package) and can be unchecked at installation time. The installer includes Tcl/Tk package which will install in /usr/local. NOTE: The tar-ball does not contain the GUI (see below for a separate download), it only contains files under /Library/Frameworks/R.framework so either run it via /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R or create a convenience symlink if desired. The tar-ball must be unpacked in the root directory using:
The installer image ( *.pkg) is packaged exactly the same way as the CRAN release of R (including the GUI) and it will update your R version (unless you use pkgutil - see instructions during installation and/or the "Multiple versions" section of the R Installation and Administration manual).Īlternatively, you can use the tar-ball ( *.tar.gz) in the table above. Intel Macs are supported by the high-sierra build which works on any macOS >=10.13 including Big Sur. Important: The big-sur builds are compatible with the M1 arm-based Macs only.
