Install

Nuée 1.0.0 runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and on Linux. The files are on GitHub's page of version 1.0.0; earlier versions on the Releases page.

Windows

1. Download Nuee-Setup-1.0.0.exe.
2. Run it and choose to install it for yourself (no administrator rights needed) or for every user of the computer.
3. Windows may say it protected your PC, because the installer isn't signed: click More info, then Run anyway.

R is included: there is nothing else to install, and an R already on the computer is neither used nor changed. Nuée appears in the Start menu; double-clicking a .nuee project opens it in Nuée. It is uninstalled from Settings › Apps; your projects stay where you saved them, and your settings are kept.

Updates

At start-up, Nuée asks GitHub whether a newer version exists (nothing else is sent). If there is one, the status bar says so; a click downloads its installer, checks it against the SHA-256 checksum GitHub gives, offers to save your projects, installs it and starts Nuée again. Help › Look for a new version at start-up turns the check off; Help › Check for updates does it at any time.

In an organisation

For IT departments: silent installation for one user or the whole computer, the settings for Intune, Configuration Manager, Group Policy and PDQ Deploy (commands, detection rule), a policy that turns the update check off for everyone, what Nuée writes where and what it sends over the network: see the deployment guide.

Linux

On Linux, Nuée uses the R installed on the computer (an R build is tied to its distribution's libraries, so it can't be carried along as on Windows).

Debian, Ubuntu and their derivatives

Download Nuee-1.0.0-amd64.deb, then, in a terminal, in the file's folder:

sudo apt install ./Nuee-1.0.0-amd64.deb

apt also installs R and the R packages Nuée needs. Nuée appears in the applications menu. Every change to Nuée is checked with this package installed on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 and Debian 12, with their own R.

Other distributions

First install R from your distribution, then the packages Nuée needs, in R:

install.packages(c("httpuv", "jsonlite", "openxlsx", "haven",
  "readxl", "foreign", "nlme", "mgcv", "MASS", "rpart", "cluster",
  "RSQLite", "ranger"))

Then either:

• Nuee-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage: make it executable (chmod +x Nuee-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage), then run it. It needs FUSE 2 (the libfuse2 package on most distributions). On Ubuntu 24.04 and later, prefer the .deb: it installs the AppArmor profile Chromium's sandbox needs there, and an AppImage has to be started with --no-sandbox.
• Nuee-1.0.0-x64.tar.gz: unpack it, then run ./nuee.

Good to know

• Nuée looks for Rscript on the PATH, then in /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin and /opt/R/<version>/bin; start it with RSCRIPT=/path/to/Rscript to use another R.
• With an R older than 4.4 (that of Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04, or Debian 12), R files (.rds, .RData) don't open, because reading one could run code (CVE-2024-27322): save the table as CSV or Excel instead.
• Opening .usp projects needs python3.
• Settings are kept in ~/.config/Nuee. At start-up, Nuée asks GitHub whether a newer version exists; a click in the status bar opens its page.

Then

Open a table (File › Open, Ctrl+O), or try Help › Example project, then follow a tutorial or the guide.
