After a reinstallation of ubuntu in last month, the original installation of texlive 2015 was gone. As the 2016 release of texlive is already available to use, I decided to install the newer version on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This post records the steps of installation as well as some other configurations to several dedicated components.

This post is to record the configuration steps of the R environment, which is a language as well as an eco-system for statistics and related computing and graphing. With the CRAN platform for sharing and exploring extra package of R, the capibility of the R language is much more extented.
