Working with R
Installing R
• Display graphics produced by R.
Textual output and error messages from R appear in the log window.
R must be installed on the same computer as JMP. JMP is not distributed with a copy of R. You can
download R from the Comprehensive R Archive Network Web site:
http://cran.r-project.org
Because JMP is supported as both a 32-bit and a 64-bit Windows application, you must install the
corresponding 32-bit or 64-bit version of R. For the supported version of R, see the system requirements on
the JMP Web site: http://www.jmp.com/support/system_requirements_jmp.shtml
How JMP Finds R
JMP delays loading R until a JSL-based script requires access to it. When JMP needs to load R, it follows
the standard steps for finding R on a Windows computer:
1. Look up the environment variable R_HOME.
If the variable exists, load R from the specified directory.
2. If the environment variable R_HOME does not exist, look up the InstallPath value in the Windows
registry under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-core\R
For 32-bit JMP running on a 64-bit machine, the InstallPath value is under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE\R-core\R
If the InstallPath value exists, load R from the specified directory.
3. If the InstallPath value does not exist, an error message states that R could not be found.
Testing Your Setup
To test that your computer is able to run JSL-based scripts that use R, run the following JSL script:
R Init( );
R Submit("
