Aaron didn't have to install Tcl/Tk since this is now included in the R installation. As well, although R will run under RStudio, I suggest that you use it instead from R.app or from R running in a terminal window. Please see the Rcmdr Mac OS X installation notes at <http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html> for more details. > > But I keep getting the following error:Loading required package: > splinesLoading required package: RcmdrMiscLoading required package: > carError in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = > vI[[i]]) : there is no package called 'SparseM'Error: package 'car' > could not be loaded Apparently the SparseM package wasn't installed when Aaron installed the Rcmdr package. I'm not sure why that happened, but I've just installed the Rcmdr package into a clean installation of R 3.2.0 under Mac OS X Yosemite and experienced no problems -- perhaps the SparseM package was missing from the CRAN mirror that Aaron used. Try installing the package directly via install.packages("SparseM") and see whether that clears up the problem. If the package is unavailable, try a different CRAN mirror. > You should review the earlier exchanges this topic on the R-SIG-Mac > mailing list. John Fox posted his advice there. Most Mac OS X Rcmdr problem relate to failing to install XQuartz but that doesn't seem to be the case here. There are some other troubleshooting tips in the installation notes mentioned above.
