Setting Up R Preferences with .Rprofile
For your convenience, a sample ~/.Rprofile example file is provided that can be downloaded to your cluster account and renamed into ~/.Rprofile
(or appended to one). Follow these steps to download our recommended ~/.Rprofile
example and copy it into place:
curl -#LO https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/files/knowledge/run/examples/apps/r/Rprofile_example
mv -ib Rprofile_example ~/.Rprofile
The above installation step needs to be done only once on Scholar. Now load the R module and run R:
module load r/4.4.1
R
.libPaths()
[1] "/home/myusername/R/scholar/4.1.2-gcc-6.3.0-ymdumss"
[2] "/apps/spack/scholar/apps/r/4.1.2-gcc-6.3.0-ymdumss/rlib/R/library"
.libPaths()
should output something similar to above if it is set up correctly.
You are now ready to install R packages into the dedicated directory /home/myusername/R/scholar/4.1.2-gcc-6.3.0-ymdumss
.
