MRO-3.2.3 mac does not create a shell R executable

[rebelwarrior]

which R produces nothing on a clean install of MRO. (El Capitan)

I think this only happens on a clean install. I did an upgrade on another computer and it either preserved (or did install) the command line executable at /usr/bin/R However a clean install created no command line options.

This is a known issue. The new version of MRO currently does not create a '/usr/bin/R' link on the Mac. You will need to create it manually using the 'ln' command:

For example: ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R /usr/local/bin/R

If you create this link, then the command 'system("which R")' will work in MRO. I am not sure why we no longer create the link in '/usr/bin', but we will consider that for the next release.
