 To take advantage of these functionalities is necessary to perform a proper installation. See below for more details.

-From TOL 3.3 onwards, TOL provides a natural communication with R.
+TOL+R requires, besides the both softwares: TOL and R, some additional packages or libraries.
 
-Two packages allow us to do than ([wiki:tolRlink] for R) and ([wiki:TolRInside] for TOL).
+Follow the instrucctions below:

+ * [wiki:TolR#InstallTOL Install TOL]
+ * [wiki:TolR#InstallR Install R]
+ * [wiki:TolR#Rpackages R packages]
+ * [wiki:TolR#TOLpacakges TOL packages]
+
+=== Install TOL ===
+
+Install TOL (GNU-GCC compiled) version 3.3  onwards (if you have not already done so). See [wiki:Download].
+
+==== Environment variables (for Windows) ====
+
+For the communication with TOL from R is necessary the environment variable '''{{{TOLGNU_ROOT}}}''' ({{{TOLGNU_ROOT_64}}} for TOL 64-bits) containing the TOL 'installation' folder.
+
+ * TOL 'installation' folder: [[BR]] {{{%PROGRAMFILES%\Tol-Project\tol-gnu-v3.3}}} [[BR]] ('program files' folder and version number may be different).
+
+This environment variable is automatically generated during the installation process.
+
+=== Install R ===
+
+Install the statistical software R. See [https://www.r-project.org].
+
+It is recommended R version 3.2 onwards. Specifically R version 3.2.0 has been tried and successfully tested:
+[https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/3.2.0 R 3.2.0]
+
+If you use TOL 32-bits, you must install (at least) the R 32-bits version.
+
+==== Environment variables (for Windows) ====
+
+TOL (for Windows) needs an environment variable named '''{{{R_HOME}}}''' containing the R 'installation' folder. [[BR]]
+ * R 'installation' folder: [[BR]] {{{%PROGRAMFILES%\R\R-3.2.0}}} [[BR]] (version number may be different)
+
+For example:
+{{{
+SETX R_HOME %PROGRAMFILES%\R\R-3.2.0
+}}}
+
+Is is also recommended, add R bin folder to the environment variable '''{{{PATH}}}'''. This allows some TOL packages (builded before TOL+R) to find R. To do that, you should ensure that the R 'bin' folder is in the environment variable PATH.
+
+ * R 'bin' folder: [[BR]] {{{%PROGRAMFILES%\R\R-3.2.0\bin}}} [[BR]] (version number may be different)
+
+You can edit the environment variable PATH as usual. For example:
+{{{
+SETX PATH %PATH%;%PROGRAMFILES%\R\R-3.2.0
+}}}
+
+=== R packages ===
+
+There are two sets of R-packages used from TOL:
+
+1. The R-packages that TOL uses traditionally from the command line. [[BR]]
+See: [wiki:Installation#InstallsomeR-packages Install some R-packages].
+
+2. The R-packages needed to use TOL from R. [[BR]]
+See: [wiki:Rprojects#Installation Rprojects:Installation].
+
+Altogether:
+{{{

+}}}
+
+=== TOL packages ===
+
+For the communication from TOL with R there is an only specific package: [wiki:TolRInside]. This can be installed and loaded as usual:
+{{{
+#!cpp
+#Require TolRInside;
+}}}
