Quick Start Install--MS/Windows

This Quick Start guide to installing Rattle is straightforward, assuming we are running MS/Windows and we are directly connected to the Internet:

1. Download and install GTK+ from:
   
   

   http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-dev-2.10.11-win32-1.exe
   

   
   
2. Download and install GGobi from:
   
   

   http://www.ggobi.org/downloads/ggobi-2.1.7.exe
   

   
   
3. Download and install R from:
   
   

   http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.6.2-win32.exe
   

   
   
4. Install Rattle by opening the R Desktop icon and:
   
   

   > install.packages("rattle", dependencies=TRUE)
   

   
   
5. Start up Rattle by opening the R Desktop icon and:
   
   

   > library(rattle)
   > rattle()
   

   
   

And that is all there is! The details and idiosyncracies are in Section 2.1.4.
