title: Installing R on Hortonworks Sandbox hadoop 2.3
body: <p>I’m experiencing some troubles when I try to install R dependencies with the command :</p>
  
  <pre><code>install.packages(c(“Rcpp”,”RJSONIO”,”bitops”,”digest”,”functional”,”itertools”,”reshape2″,”string    ”,”plyr”,”caTools”),repos=’http://cran.revolutionanalytics.com’)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>packages are downloaded but then all I get are the messages</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>/usr/lib64/R/bin/R: line 8: uname: command not found
    /usr/lib64/R/bin/R: line 143: exec: sh: not found</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>repeated as many times as the number of packages I am trying to install.</p>
  
  <p>I am using R version 3.2.2, rstudio-server 0.99.489  in Hortonworks Sandbox with hadoop 2.3 (Oracle Virtualbox).</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
