R

R is a software module available on Comet.

R overview

To access R on Comet, run module load R. This will load the default version of R.

An overview of the module information is shown below (module -r spider ^R$):

R:
    Description:
      R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics.

     Versions:
        R/4.3.2-gfbf-2023a
        R/4.4.2-gfbf-2024a
        R/4.5.1-gfbf-2024a

  For detailed information about a specific "R" package (including how to load the modules) use the module's full name.
  Note that names that have a trailing (E) are extensions provided by other modules.
  For example:

     $ module spider R/4.5.1-gfbf-2024a

If there are multiple versions of R listed, then you can load a specific version as follows:

$ module load R/version_string

You can find the most up to date information whilst logged on to Comet by running module -r spider ^R$.
