How To Install r-cran-geometry on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-geometry on Kali Linux. r-cran-geometry is GNU R mesh generation and surface tesselation

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-cran-geometry on Kali Linux.

What is r-cran-geometry

r-cran-geometry is:

This GNU R package makes the qhull library (www.qhull.org) available in R, in a similar manner as in Octave and MATLAB. Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull does not support constrained Delaunay triangulations, or mesh generation of non-convex objects, but the package does include some R functions that allow for this. Currently the package only gives access to Delaunay triangulation and convex hull computation.

There are three methods to install r-cran-geometry on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install r-cran-geometry Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install r-cran-geometry using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install r-cran-geometry

Install r-cran-geometry Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install r-cran-geometry using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install r-cran-geometry

Install r-cran-geometry Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install r-cran-geometry using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install r-cran-geometry
