---- with —
R 3.1 or later (earlier versions may work, but have not been tested)
The evaluate R package.
For full R support, you will also need the following R packages:

knitr
repr – available with devtools::install_github("IRkernel/repr")
htmltools – required for some interactive plotting
base64enc – required to view R base plots

----- examples ----
apt-get install r-base r-cran-rserve
R -e "install.packages('ggplot2', repos = 'http://cran.us.r-project.org')"
R -e install.packages('knitr', repos = 'http://cran.us.r-project.org')

maybe need this (but not required if part of zeppelin build - TBD)

curl https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rscala/rscala_1.0.6.tar.gz -o /tmp/rscala_1.0.6.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL /tmp/rscala_1.0.6.tar.gz
