    Hello,

    I have installed R 2.0.7 for statistical usage on MS Windows XP Professional system.

    I would like to use the grafic GUI of rkward so that the usage of R is easier. I don't have much understanding of programming language and I am not very "computer literate".

    So my questions are:
    * Is it correct that rkward will provide a grafic user interface for the usage of R?
    * How do I install rkward so that I can use R with grafic GUI? I don't understand the instructions given on the Website.

    I would appreciate any help on this issue!

    Thank you very much for your efforts in advance!

    Christian

      Dear Christian

      I think you made the right choice tu use R, even if it is a little bit harder to writing the code. RKward would be also the right choiche IF you were on Linux... unfortunately, Rkward is currently not running on Windows, so you have the following possibilities:
      -use another GUI for Windows, like Rcmdr, rattle or JGR
      -install Linux!!! For example now the distribution Ubuntu 8.04 is really easy to install from Windows and does not take much time, even if you are not "computer literate".
      -run linux on windows with cygwin. I don't use it personnaly and don't even wkno if it is possible...
