JGR - Java GUI for R - Version 1.4
 Download

JGR 1.4 is officially supported only on Windows and Mac OS X 10.4.4 (and above) operating systems - JGR is provided in binary form for those platforms. We don't provide binaries for other platforms either because it's not feasible (all the Linux flavors with different glibc versions...) or we just don't have the hard+software. JGR is reported to work on many other systems, but you will need to compile it from the sources and your mileage may vary (see instructions below for details).

The JGR versions displayed below reflect the version of the launcher program, not JGR itself. The most current JGR verison will be fetched from CRAN by the launcher automatically.

Mac OS X 10.4.+ download:
   - universal binary for R 2.3.1 or higher : JGR-1.4-7.dmg (ca. 142kB, updated 2006/08/21)

Mac OS X 10.3 users: you can still use the above binary, but please install all necessary packages manually before you start JGR:
install.packages(c("rJava","JavaGD","iplots","JGR"),type="source")

Windows 9x/.../XP download:
   - binary for R 2.3.1 or higher: JGR-1.4-6.exe (ca. 25kB, updated 2006/08/20)

Linux download:
First, make sure you have R shared library (libR.so, i.e. R was compiled with --enable-R-shlib). Then simply run in R (possibly as root for system-wide installation):

install.packages("JGR",dep=TRUE)
library(JGR)
JGR()
The run script is generated automatically, see the instruction during the above process.

Note: If you encounter a problem when loading rJava on a unix platform, please make sure that your Java is set up properly and R is configured with Java support - in R 2.4.0 or higher simply run the following as root:
R CMD javareconf

Required Java version: Windows and Mac OS X: JDK 1.4 or higher, Linux/Solaris: JDK 1.5 or higher (JDK 5.0 in Sun's notation), 64-bit Linux: JDK 1.6 beta or higher (JDK 6.0 beta 2 in Sun's notation). Other Java distributions (IBM, Blackdown, ..) are supported as long as they are compatible.

*** please read installation instructions below before installing ***

Sources download (ONLY if you want to re-compile the Java-part):
   - JGRsrc-1.4.tar.gz JGR Java sources (ca. 100kB, updated 2006/05/05)

most FAQ:
Q: Can I execute commands directly from the editor?
A: Yes, direct command transfer from JGR editor is <Cmd>+<Enter> on Mac and <Ctrl>+<Enter> on Windows/X11 and applies to the selected text (works in the help, too).

 Installation instructions:

  1. Download and install R 2.3.1 or higher, R 2.4.0 is recommended (Linux/Solaris: make sure --enable-R-shlib was used when compiling R)
  2. Download the appropriate JGR application for your OS from above.
  3. Start the JGR application! JGR will install all necessary packages directly from CRAN (or the RoSuDa server).
    (You should have administrator rights to get the packages installed)
  4. After step 3 completed successfully, JGR is fully installed and can be used.

Windows users: if you have more than one JDK version installed, you can use this tiny tool to select the default version that will be used with JGR: jselect.exe.
