If you are operating on Fedora (or any other flavors of Linux), chances are that there is availability of pre-built package of R.
On Fedora 16, I did
$> sudo yum info R
Installed Packages
Name : R
Arch : x86_64
Version : 2.15.1
Release : 1.fc16
Size : 0.0
Repo : installed
From repo : updates
Summary : A language for data analysis and graphics
URL : http://www.r-project.org
License : GPLv2+
Description : This is a metapackage that provides both core R userspace and
: all R development components.
:
: R is a language and environment for statistical computing and
: graphics. R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was
: developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides
: a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and
: nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis,
: classification, clustering, ...).
:
: R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow
: constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users
: to add additional functionality by defining new functions. For
: computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be
: linked and called at run time.
To install R on fedora,
$> sudo yum install R
Now that you have installed R, go read up on it at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html
