Installing rpy2 on MacOS

If using a Miniconda environment this works:

conda install -c r rpy2

From: https://anaconda.org/r/rpy2

  • macOS Mojave

  • Python 3.8


Found the solution in this thread.

env CC=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/X.x.x/bin/gcc-X pip install rpy2

Running the above command by replacing the gcc version with the latest version on your machine should solve the problem. For example, on my mac, I ran

env CC=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/8.2.0/bin/gcc-8 pip install rpy2
