**Build and install the MXNet R binding**

You will need to first install R. MXNet requires R version >3.3 and we can fetch that from CRAN package repository.

for macOS and windows we do not build from source, this will not be there. There is only the issue of ensuring that the pre-built binary in the S3 works fine with both R 3.4 and 3.5.
And that is not part of this PR.

```bash
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E298A3A825C0D65DFD57CBB651716619E084DAB9
$ sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386] https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial/'
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
```

You will then need to install packages needed for building and installing MXNet R bindings which includes curl, openssl, XML, Cairo and devtools. You can install them with the following commands.
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libcairo2-dev libxt-dev
$ sudo Rscript -e "install.packages('devtools', repo = 'https://cran.rstudio.com')"
```

You can then build and install the MXNet R package with the following command.
```bash
$ make rpkg
$ R CMD INSTALL mxnet_current_r.tar.gz
```

## Install the MXNet Package for Julia
The MXNet package for Julia is hosted in a separate repository, MXNet.jl, which is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/dmlc/MXNet.jl). To use Julia binding it with an existing libmxnet installation, set the ```MXNET_HOME``` environment variable by running the following command:
