Kuri Setup

Downloading Kuri

If you haven't already, please visit http://kuri.elderresearch.com and download the MacOS X or Windows distribution of Kuri.

Prerequisites

While Kuri works hard to take care of installing as many dependencies as it can. However, if you plan on using the internal server there are a few items you'll have to install for your self: The R runtime, and Pandoc (for report generation).

R

The R package for both Windows and MacOS is available from the project website: https://www.r-project.org/. We suggest downloading and installing using the latest stable installer.

MacOS X

If you using homebrew, We recommend not using the version of R available through homebrew. Use the installer from https://www.r-project.org/

Windows

In order for the job server to run R jobs, the executable Rscript.exe needs to be in your PATH variable. This article provides general instructions on setting environment variables on Windows.

In windows 7, Start menu, search for env
