#MAC SE EMULATOR SOFTWARE#
Getting startedTo use the vMac emulator, you will need to download the following software packages: If you can't do that, you can always try to search the Web. If you don't, well find someone who does.
#MAC SE EMULATOR PLUS#
If you have a Mac Plus handy (I have about 4 around me) this is easy. The solution I will use vMac, a Macintosh Plus emulator available free of charge on the Web. System 7 is nice, but R 3.0 doesn't like it very much. The problem To run the R Package, I require at least a Mac Plus and at least System 6. Note that the emulator is available for other platforms (Linux, NeXT, Amiga, DOS.) but I did not test those. Both have a 100 MHz clock speed and run some flavor of Windows 95. I have two, a Pentium card inside my PowerMac and a Pentium desktop (separate computer). And best of all, the emulator is free!This page chronicles my attempt to run the R Package (version 3) under a Windows 95 machine. Using the R Package with an emulatorAfter experimenting with several Macintosh emulators, I have now found a way to run the R Package version 3 under Windows. If you set your sights low enough, you should find plenty :-)If you still insist on using an emulator, here is my original writeup. The only hangup is the possible scarcity of used Macs in your region.
#MAC SE EMULATOR INSTALL#
Compared to the time it takes to install a Mac and get it running, there is no comparison. are valid reasons to use an emulator, for instance if you have a really fast PC, if you don't have the desk space for another machine or if you are interested in emulators per se, but if you or your employer values your time, you should consider that getting an emulator to work can take a significant amount of time, and when it does it is quite slow (much slower than the Mac IIci above).

Both are available for free on Apple's ftp site: You can get more information about these and other "low-end" Macintoshes on the Low End Mac website at that the R Package version 3.0 works best with System 6, while R 4.0 requires System 7 to function. If you want to spend more and have more speed, there are PowerPC Macintoshes on the used market starting at around 200$CDN.If you want to spend less, the following machines will run the R Package just fine and can be had for a song, if not free: Don't let the 1989 manufacture date of the Mac IIci scare you, it is perfectly usable for many tasks including the R Package. I have bought several of these in the last few months to use as servers (meaning 24/7 use) and they are very capable. The systems I personally recommend are the Mac IIci and Quadra 700, with 8-20 MB of RAM and 80-500 MB of hard disk space. Let me explain.You can buy a used, yet fairly powerful Macintosh computer, complete with monitor and keyboard, for less than 100$CDN these days (convert to your local currency here). However, I no longer recommend you go that route because it does not make much economic sense anymore. So a Windows version is still quite a few months away.In the past, I was advising people to run a Macintosh emulator ( see details below) on their Windows PC. However, I want to near-complete the Macintosh version before I attempt the Windows one.
First of all, let me tell you that there will be a 32-bit Windows version of the Package (for a sample, see here). VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while Oracle ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.-title: Run the R Package without a Macintosh?- I get many, many requests about a DOS/Windows version of the R Package. VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD. See " About VirtualBox" for an introduction.
