RMTCA Mac OS

MPlayerX on OS X suddenly doesn't interpolate video anymore? (fullscreen = ugly pixelated output) 2. Photos.app doesn't play audio from videos recorded by Olympus camera. VLC is dropping frames/stuttering when trying to play 1080p@60FPS video on rMBP w. 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7. Nvidia drivers support was canceled for past major MAC OS updates, so no Nvidia eGPU support for you, unless you roll back your Apple product to the older OS versions (which is a big pain in the ass considering other apps support for old MAC OS versions). Welcome to hell. Thank you for replying! Wow, this is really an eye opening inconvenience.

R-Commander is a an easy to use Graphical User Interface to run statistical applications using the R statistical engine. Much of what you can do in native command line R can be done easily in R-Commander without knowing any of the command line features in R. This reduces the time considerably it takes to perform analyses

Before you get started, make sure you have downloaded the Chrome browser and set that as your default. (http://chrome.google.com ) Safari is quirky and while it may work, it very well may not.


Installing XQuartz

The process for installing R-Commander on your Mac is pretty straightforward. If you are using MacOS 10.11 or higher you will first need to install XQuartz. XQuartz is the environment that R and R-Commander reside in on the Mac. If your OS is older than 10.11 you may already have XQuartz installed as part of the MacOS (but frankly you shouldn’t be running an OS that old). Go here:

After the package has downloaded, it will be in the lower left corner of your browser frame, you may click on it there or find it and click on it.

RMTCA Mac OS

Just accept the defaults.

Agree to the license terms.

Then click “Install”.

Like all mac apps you will have to put in your MAC username and password. That is probably DIFFERENT than your VUNetID and ePassword.

It will take a while for the scripts to run and complete the install. Be patient; that “less than a minute” comment is not very serious.

You will be notified that the installation was successful.

Once you are told that, you will not need to install this again on this computer. You may be asked if you want to delete the installer pkg file. You may do so if you need the space. That will have no impact on the installed application, XQuartz.


Installing R

After successfully installing XQuartz, you will now go here and install R: (copy the URL below and paste into Chrome)

Click the download “R for (Mac) OS X”

Click the .pkg file circled below to download the file. The link to it will be placed in the lower left of your browser frame.

Click on the downloaded file in the lower left of the browser frame (in Chrome) and start the installation process. Just accept the defaults.

Click Continue

Click Continue

Agree to the license agreement.

Run the Install.

Again, put in your Apple username and password and click “Install Software”.

It will take a while to run the scripts so be patient. That one minute comment below is not to be taken very seriously.

You will be notified when the installation is successful. Click “Close”.


Installing R-Commander

Now we will launch R and from within R will install R-Commander. Go to your applications folder and Find R. The icon looks like this:

Notice the caret prompt that looks like a greater than sign. “>”

At the prompt, type in (with NO spaces and all in lower case) install.packages()

You may copy/paste it from here.

You will now be asked to select a mirror site to download the package from.

Click in the window and scroll down (it helps if you have a mouse as opposed to the computer’s trackpad) to USA (CA 1) [https]. This is the Berkeley site and is generally the most current.

Now you will be given a list of packages you can install. There are literally hundreds of them. Scrolling here again works much better with an actual computer mouse.

Look for Rcmdr. There will be a number of Rcmdr plug-ins that follow but you are only interested in the first one. Select it and click “OK”.

You will see a lot downloaded the first time. It may take considerable time for this process to complete. When it is done you will see the caret prompt.

R-Commander has been downloaded and installed. You may be prompted to install additional packages that may not have come down in the most recent package. Go ahead and do that if asked.


Starting R-Commander

At the prompt type in: library(Rcmdr) with no spaces. You may copy/paste from here. You will do this EVERY TIME you launch the application. The first time though, it may tell you that you need to download some required packages. Accept the defaults and download those packages. After those packages are downloaded and installed the first time, you will not be asked again to do so.

To launch R-Commander, first click on R in your applications menu, then from the caret prompt type in library(Rcmdr)

When you see this screen you are ready to run your statistics.

This concludes the installation of R-Commander. You will only have to repeat this process if you want to install all of this on a different computer.

Next, drag the DM RTA application icon into the Applications folder shortcut > close the Finder window > in the menu bar at the top of the screen select GO > select Applications in the drop down menu > find DM RTA in the list of Applications > double-click it and follow any prompts to complete the installation process.

Rmtca Mac Os Update

NOTE: Due to additional layers of security in macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave you may encounter warning messages related to apps that are not downloaded directly from the Apple App Store, or that are not from an identified developer, or that have not been notarized by Apple (macOS Catalina). Depending on your version of the macOS these warning messages may not have an option to proceed with opening and installing the DM RTA software. See the workaround farther down in this article and please refer to this Apple article for details on the security steps involved with opening apps: Safely open apps on your Mac.

When you try to install the DM RTA software you will be presented with a warning message indicating that the developer cannot be verified. Select Cancel for this message.

Rmtca Mac Os Catalina

In macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave, when an app fails to install because it hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer, it will appear in System Preferences > Security & Privacy, under the General tab. Click Open Anyway to confirm your intent to open or install the app. You may need to click on the lock icon on the bottom left of the Security & Privacy window and enter your computers login password to allow changes to be made.

The warning prompt reappears, and you can click Open.

The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it, just as you can any authorized app.

When you get past the Apple security messages and finish the installation you may be prompted that there is a new firmware ready to be loaded, select Yes. When the firmware update is completed you will see a pop-up showing “Hardware Online!”, select OK.

The green LED in the upper right corner of the software window should be bright green. If you don’t see the bright green LED then you are not actually connected to the DM RTA. Close out the software > power cycle the DM RTA by pressing and holding the power switch until the Power LED goes out > power the DM RTA back on > re-open the software and you should see the Hardware Online! message again.

Also, remember to drag the DM RTA installer that is on your desktop to the Trash.

To check the version of your currently installed DM RTA firmware select the Help drop down menu > choose About.
