There is a pre-packaged VM called the <a href="http://datasciencetoolbox.org/">Data Science Toolbox</a> that fills this need.</p> <p>It comes with R and Python installed, along with the respective popular data analysis packages for R and Python. You will be able to install the VM successfully by following the instructions on the <a href="http://datasciencetoolbox.org/">website</a>, including installation of pre-requisites like VirtualBox and Vagrant.</p>
