Introduction to Radiant

Installing R, Rstudio, and Radiant on Windows

For Windows, download and run the all-in-one installer for R, Rstudio, and Radiant. For a video tutorial see the Install Radiant on Windows video below:

Note: Some users have reported that the Malwarebytes software can inappropriately block R-packages from being installed or updated. If you use Malwarebytes and are experiencing problems you can try (temporarily) turning it off during the install process or when upgrading.

Credits: Thanks go to Brandon Salas at the Rady School of Management for creating the Windows installer
