How To Install r-cran-rinside on Kali Linux
Introduction

What is r-cran-rinside
r-cran-rinside is:
The ‘RInside’ packages makes it easier to have “R inside” your C++ application by providing a C++ wrapper class providing the R interpreter.
As R itself is embedded into your application, a shared library build of R is required. This works on Linux, OS X and even on Windows provided you use the same tools used to build R itself.
Numerous examples are provided in the eight subdirectories of the examples/ directory of the installed package: standard, mpi (for parallel computing) qt (showing how to embed ‘RInside’ inside a Qt GUI application), wt (showing how to build a “web-application” using the Wt toolkit), armadillo (for ‘RInside’ use with ‘RcppArmadillo’) and eigen (for ‘RInside’ use with ‘RcppEigen’). The example use GNUmakefile(s) with GNU extensions, so a GNU make is required (and will use the GNUmakefile automatically).
Doxygen-generated documentation of the C++ classes is available at the ‘RInside’ website as well.
