Minimal R Configuration

For instances of PMOD that will only be used for PAI it is possible to install a reduced set of R packages. To achieve this, perform the following configuration and installation procedure.

Following R installation, start PMOD and open the Configuration facility from the main ToolBox.

On the STATISTICS tab ensure that the checkbox R Statistics Console is checked and verify that the path to the local R installation is correct. Select Don't install.We recommend selecting Use Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) location. In rare cases the connection to CRAN may be unsuccessful. In this case, unselect Use Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) location, then select the CRAN location from the native R dialog that appears when R Console is started.
