title: R 2.15 install in Redhat
body: <p>I am trying to install a local copy of R on a server without admin privileges. I know <strong><em>almost nothing</em></strong> about servers, or linux. I can easily access a copy of R by typing "R", however the server I am working off of only has an old copy of R (v2.10.1). I need at least v2.14 to run my scripts, although I would prefer to install the most recent release. </p>
  
  <p>As far as I understand, my server runs Redhat e15 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I have the server mapped to my windows computer, and tried doing a regular install of Windows R onto the server, but when I try and run the R.exe file I get an error stating I "cannot execute binary file". </p>
  
  <p>I found on the CRAN website what I think I should download:</p>
  
  <p>Under the linux installation... redhat/e15/x86_64</p>
  
  <p>But the folder only contains v2.10. I found this thread about installing R on Redhat, but I am still at a loss for how (if possible) to install/build my own copy of R.</p>
