Install R on the same computer as JMP.
Because JMP is a 64-bit application, you must install the corresponding 64-bit version of R. For the supported version of R, see the system requirements on the JMP website: https://www.jmp.com/system.
For Apple macOS Catalina and later versions, download the notarized and signed package.
You can install R from the web or from an approved corporate repository. If you install R from a corporate repository, perform steps 6 through 7, below.
Install R from the web by following these steps:
1. Go to https://www.r-project.org.
2. Under "Download", click CRAN.
3. Click a mirror site near you.
4. Click the download link for your operating system.
5. Click the "base" distribution.
6. Run the downloaded R installer using the default options.
If R is not installed in its default location, it might not run from Python. This document assumes a default installation of R.
7. After installation, run R.exe to verify that R works outside of JMP.
Normally, JMP determines the R_HOME environment variable internally if it is not defined in the Windows system registry:
computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\R-code\R\InstallPath
If you have installed more than one version of R on your computer, and want to override the default R installation location, define the R_HOME environment variable.
Create a new R_HOME system environment variable or edit an existing R_HOME variable to reference the location of the R \bin directory that you want to use. This enables you to have more than one version of R installed on your computer.
On Windows, set the variable from the System Properties window:
1. Search for "Advanced System Settings".
2. Click "View advanced system settings".
3. Click Environment Variables.
4. In the System variables panel, either look for an existing R_HOME variable to edit or click New to create a variable.
5. When entering the path to the R \bin directory, do not include "\bin". For example, C:\Program Files\R\R-4.4.2.
6. If JMP was running before you set R_HOME, restart JMP.
Alternately, you can create the variable using the JSL Set Environment Variable() function:
Set Environment Variable( "R_HOME", "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.3" );
If you to have more than one version of R installed on your computer, create an R_HOME system environment variable or edit an existing R_HOME variable to reference the location of the R \bin directory that you want to use with JMP.
Add or edit the R_HOME location from the login profile:
1. Set R_HOME in your login profile.
2. Log out and then in.
Specify the R_HOME location from the Terminal:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Type the following code, where path_to_R is the location of R.
export R_HOME=path_to_R
3. Press Enter.
4. Log out and then back in so that the variable is active in both the GUI environment and the terminal shell.
