Before pyRserve can be used, R and Rserv have to be installed properly. Installation instructions for both packages are available on their corresponding websites at`<http://www.r-project.org/>`_ and http://packages.python.org/pyRserve/
For R being able to run Rserve properly it has to be installed with the –enable-R-shlib option. On Unix this looks like:
tar -xzf R-2.11.1.tar.gz # or whatever version you are using
cd R-2.11.1
./configure --enable-R-shlib
make
make install
For Windows it might be just enough to install a prepuilt R package. The same might be true for some Linux distributions, just make sure to install a version which also contains all headers necessary for compiling Rserve in the next step.
If you have already downloaded the tar file then from your command line run:
R CMD INSTALL Rserve_0.6-2.tar.gz
For the following to work you have to have Python’s setuptools (from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools ) to be installed.
PyRserve requires numpy to be installed (easy_install numpy).
Then from your unix/windows command line run:
easy_install pyRserve
