if you use QGIS under windows installed with the osgeo4w installer then
you need to install rpy2 with the same osgeo4w installer.

If you use qgis under linux then you may want to check in the package
manager of your distibution.

Other R libraries that are needed by the HR plugin and by the SDA4PP
need to be installed trough R or -under linux- trough the package
manager, if are available in it.

To run the HR plugin I believe that now the mimum R version is 2.10, you
will need also to install the R libraries rgdal, adehabitat and others,
