Installing the R Statistical Software

SAS does not distribute R software. In order to call R software, you must first install R on the same computer that runs SAS software. If you access a SAS workspace server through client software such as SAS^® Enterprise Guide^® , then R must be installed on the SAS server.

You can download R from The Comprehensive R Archive Network Web site: http://cran.r-project.org. If you experience problems installing R, consult the R FAQ: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html. SAS Technical Support does not provide support for installing or configuring third-party software.

In SAS/IML 9.22, the interface to R is supported on computers that run a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows operating system. However, the interface to R supports only the 32-bit version of R.
