Installing R with Homebrew

Question

I\'m trying to install R using Homebrew. I ran these commands which are recommended elsewhere on SO:

brew tap homebrew/science
brew install R

Answer 1

I used this tutorial to install R on my mac, and it had me install xquartz and a fortran complier (gfortran) as well.

My suggestion would be to brew untap homebrew/science and then brew tap homebrew/science and try again, also, make sure you don't have any errors when you run brew doctor

Hope this helps
