2.2 Installing R Packages

20250808

Rattle utilises a large collection of R packages that should be installed before you run Rattle. Once you have installed R (see Section 2.1), start up R itself in a console/terminal to obtain the > prompt and then install the following R packages:

install.packages(c("BiocManager", "Ckmeans.1d.dp", "Hmisc", "NeuralNetTools", "ROCR",
                   "SnowballC", "VIM",
                   "ada", "amap", "arules", "arulesViz",
                   "biclust", "caret", "corrplot", "descr", "devtools",
                   "fBasics", "ggcorrplot", "ggdendro", "ggplotify",
                   "ggtext", "ggthemes",
                   "janitor", "lubridate",
                   "magrittr", "mice",
                   "naniar", "neuralnet", "nnet", "party", "partykit",
                   "randomForest", "rattle",
                   "readr", "reshape", "rpart", "skimr", "tidyverse", "tm",
                   "verification", "wordcloud", "wskm", "xgboost"))
BiocManager::install("Rgraphviz")
devtools::install_github("bmschmidt/wordVectors")

Once you have installed the required R packages you can proceed to install Rattle for Linux, for macOS, or for Windows.
