R Installation in Centos/RHEL-7 with R-Studio

R installation on CentOS/RHEL - 7 with R-Studio

Step 1: Make local repository 

First we need to mount the iso image into /mnt/cdrom directory.

[root@master ~]#  mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

[root@master ~]# vim /etc/yum.repo.d/centos.repo
[centos]
name=CentOS
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Save it  with [esc]:wq!

Step 2: Download and Configure epel-release rpm

[root@master ~]# wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
[root@master ~]# yum localinstall epel-release-*
[root@master ~]# yum clean all
[root@master ~]# yum repolist

Step 3: Manually download Dependencies Packages( If you installing R, without installing the dependencies manually then it's occurs dependencies error, so it better download one-by-one and install it.)

[root@master ~]# wget ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/epel/7/x86_64/r/R-java-3.4.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# yum localinstall R-java-*
[root@master ~]# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/blas-devel-3.4.2-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# yum localinstall blas-devel-3.4.2-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/lapack-devel-3.4.2-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# yum localinstall lapack-devel-3.4.2-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/texinfo-tex-5.1-4.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# yum localinstall texinfo-tex-5.1-4.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/texlive-epsf-svn21461.2.7.4-38.el7.noarch.rpm
[root@master ~]# yum localinstall texlive-epsf-svn21461.2.7.4-38.el7.noarch.rpm

[root@master ~]# yum clean all
[root@master ~]# yum repolist
[root@master ~]# yum update; init 6

Step 4: Disable selinux
[root@master ~]# setenforce 0

Step 5: Disable Firewall
[root@master ~]# systemctl stop firewalld.service
[root@master ~]# systemctl disable firewalld.service


Step 6: Now, Install R
[root@master ~]# yum install R

Step 7: Download R-Studio Server 
[root@master ~]# wget https://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-rhel-1.0.143-x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck rstudio-server-rhel-1.0.143-x86_64.rpm
[root@master ~]# service rstudio-server status/start/stop/

Step 8: Check R in shell prompt: type R

[root@master ~]# R
