This can be done by running the script `$SPARK_HOME/R/install-dev.sh`. By default the above script uses the system wide installation of R. However, this can be changed to any user installed location of R by setting the environment variable `R_HOME` the full path of the base directory where R is installed, before running install-dev.sh script. -Example: +Example: ```bash # where /home/username/R is where R is installed and /home/username/R/bin contains the files R and RScript export R_HOME=/home/username/R @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ Sys.setenv(SPARK_HOME="/Users/username/spark") # This line loads SparkR from the installed directory .libPaths(c(file.path(Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"), "R", "lib"), .libPaths())) library(SparkR) -sc <- sparkR.init(master="local") +sparkR.session() ``` #### Making changes to SparkR @@ -54,11 +54,11 @@ sc <- sparkR.init(master="local") The [instructions](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Contributing+to+Spark) for making contributions to Spark also apply to SparkR. If you only make R file changes (i.e. no Scala changes) then you can just re-install the R package using `R/install-dev.sh` and test your changes. Once you have made your changes, please include unit tests for them and run existing unit tests using the `R/run-tests.sh` script as described below. - + #### Generating documentation The SparkR documentation (Rd files and HTML files) are not a part of the source repository. To generate them you can run the script `R/create-docs.sh`. This script uses `devtools` and `knitr` to generate the docs and these packages need to be installed on the machine before using the script. Also, you may need to install these [prerequisites](https://github.com/apache/spark/tree/master/docs#prerequisites). See also, `R/DOCUMENTATION.md` - + ### Examples, Unit tests SparkR comes with several sample programs in the `examples/src/main/r` directory. |
