HOW TO USE tuneR ON THE MACS IN M373 - Don Byrd, rev. 21 Sep. 2006 Thanks (I assume) to UITS' security-related restrictions on the OS X Macs in M373, installing the tuneR package so you can use audio in R can be non-trivial. Here's how to do it. 1. Launch R. 1. Type install.packages() (or use the menu command equivalent) 2. In the Install dialog, apparently the defaults sometimes work -- I don't know why. If they don't, choose: * Other Repository * In Other Location * Get List Then select tuneR from the list and click Install Selected. In the dialog, choose Documents. 3. To actually make tuneR usable, if the default install worked, use the usual simple "library" command: library(tuneR) Otherwise, you need a more elaborate form: library(tuneR, lib.loc = "Documents") That should be all you need to do.
