Building Revolution R Enterprise from the RevoEnt-10817.enterprise.tar.gz file?

Question

How to build Revolution R Enterprise from the RevoEnt-10817.enterprise.tar.gz file downloaded from Revolution Analytics website ?

My system is Windows 7. I have already installed R 2.15 and Rstudio. Will it overwrite the original R installation ?

Can anybody guide me towards some step-by-step document/material ?

Answer 1

I could not quickly find a description on the RevoR website that describes how to install this source package. Like @agstudy suggested, you could post on their support forums and see if they can help you. It looks like you need to build R from source if you want to use the version of RevoR you downloaded, which requires you to install some additional tools. Probably those tools are the same as the ones you need to install for normal R, and can be found here .

But why do you need RevoR? Normal R is equally powerful, and you have already installed R and Rstudio, so you're good to go.
