Notes:
- The Windows installer for IBM SPSS Modeler - Essentials for R is the same for both IBM SPSS Modeler and IBM SPSS Modeler Server. For example, the 64-bit installer for IBM SPSS Modeler - Essentials for R applies to both the 64-bit version of IBM SPSS Modeler and the 64-bit version of IBM SPSS Modeler Server.

It's part of the default SPSS Modeler installation, and the default R_HOME: path is /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources. If you use a different path, you must edit the file config.ini located under /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Modeler/<version>/SPSSModeler.app/Contents/ext/bin/pasw.rstats and change config.ini to switch to your ${R_HOME} path on Mac.
