Problem scenario
You have a RedHat Enterprise version of Linux. You want to install the R programming language. What do you do?
Solution
1. Run these six commands:
sudo yum -y install wget
cd /tmp
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-10.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-7-10.noarch.rpm
sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras rhui-REGION-rhel-server-optional
sudo yum -y install R
2. This is an optional step to complete these instructions. Use "man R" (type this command with no quotes) to verify it was installed correctly.
