Installation:

• See installation for the most up-to-date instructions.

Documentation:

• See userguide for complete documentation.

Notes:

• R headers are required. Download and install R prior to building PL/R.
• R must have been built with the --enable-R-shlib option when it was configured, in order for the libR shared object library to be available.
• R_HOME must be defined in the environment of the user under which PostgreSQL is started, before the postmaster is started. Otherwise PL/R will refuse to load.
