CDP Public - install R and SparkR

andrea_pretotto — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:56:27 GMT

Hi,

is there any documentation to install R and SparkR in a gateway node of a DataHub?

I have CM 7.5.2 and a CDP Public subscription.

Spark version currently configured:

spark 2.4.8
spark 3.1.2

Thank you

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

There is not much different from how you would install R and SparkR on any other host. The steps to install would be the same. How that R runtime integrates with CDP DataHub would need to be configured after the installation. Instead of SparkR, I would actually recommend you use sparklyr, as it's more compatible with Spark.

Regards,

Alex
