This directory contains binaries for a base distribution and packages to run on Mac OS X (release 10.6 and above). Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 (and Mac OS X 10.1) are no longer supported but you can find the last supported release of R for these systems (which is R 1.7.1) here. Releases for old Mac OS X systems (through Mac OS X 10.5) and PowerPC Macs can be found in the old directory.
Note: CRAN does not have Mac OS X systems and cannot check these binaries for viruses. Although we take precautions when assembling binaries, please use the normal precautions with downloaded executables.
Please check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded image to ensure that it has not been tampered with or corrupted during the mirroring process. For example type
md5 R-3.1.1-snowleopard.pkg
in the Terminal application to print the MD5 checksum for the R-3.1.1-snowleopard.pkg image. On Mac OS X 10.7 and later you can also validate the signature using pkgutil --check-signature R-3.1.1-snowleopard.pkg

R 3.1.1 binary for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and higher, signed package. Contains R 3.1.1 framework, R.app GUI 1.65 in 64-bit for Intel Macs. The above file is an Installer package which can be installed by double-clicking. Depending on your browser, you may need to press the control key and click on this link to download the file. This package contains the R framework, 64-bit GUI (R.app) and Tcl/Tk 8.6.0 X11 libraries. The latter component is optional and can be ommitted when choosing "custom install", it is only needed if you want to use the tcltk R package. GNU Fortran is NOT included (needed if you want to compile packages from sources that contain FORTRAN code) please see the tools directory.
