Step 3 continues,

I made a link to this application so I could start R from the command
line by typing "R":
(as root)
mkdir /usr/local/bin  (if it doesn't already exist)
ln -s /Applications/StartR.app/Contents/MacOS/StartR /usr/local/bin/R

[make sure /usr/local/bin in in your $PATH]


Next, start R and type:
install.packages("akima")
install.packages("VR")
install.packages("GRASS")
install.packages("RODBC")
install.packages("grasper")
install.packages("mgcv")
install.packages("shapefiles")
.. and any other packages that might look interesting to you


The GRASS website has a useful R primer.
