As of 2017  it s just brew install r  See  Andrew s answer below   As of 2014  using an Yosemite   the method is the following   brew tap homebrew science brew install Caskroom cask xquartz brew install r   The gcc package  will be installed automatically as a required dependency  in the homebrew science tap already contains the latest fortran compiler  gfortran   and most of all  the whole package is precompiled so it saves you a lot of compilation time   This answer will also work for El Capitan and Mac OS Sierra   In case you don t have XCode Command Line Tools  CLT   run from terminal    xcode-select --install
