Re: [ESS] Need help installing ess using M-x package-install-file
Juste, Thanks for your suggestions. At work, I am getting a new computer. I will copy ess directory from old computer (where ess works fine). Our R version is controlled by the organization.

Do you have a personal computer that you can control? I see that you are working in a Windows environment.

[ESS] Need help installing ess using M-x package-install-file
In my organization, IT security set up disables emacs package installation from package archives (e.g. MELPA) using M-x package-install. Therefore, I am downloading package tar files from package archives, then using M-x package-install-file command. This method has successfully installed several packages (e.g., auctex) on my computer. But with ess, I have run into problems. Here are details. I used tar file downloaded from MELPA stable archives. Ess homepage also has zip files. I do not know how to use them to install ess. My ess installation went without any error messages (although some files were skipped). > > M-x ess-version > ess-version: 18.10.2 [] (loaded from > c:/Users/ngurbuxani/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/) > But I cannot launch R inferior process. > M-x R > Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2) [2 times] > define-obsolete-function-alias: Wrong number of arguments: (3 . 4), 2 I am using emacs 28.2 > > M-x emacs-version > GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2022-09-13 > This is my ess setup in int.el file. > ;; > ;; ESS settings > ;; > (defun then_R_operator_ess () > "R - %>% operator or 'then' pipe operator for ess mode" > (interactive) > (just-one-space 1) > (insert "%>%") > (reindent-then-newline-and-indent)) > > (defun then_R_operator () > "R - %>% operator or 'then pipe operator for inferior mode" > (interactive) > (insert " %>% ")) ;no need to go > to next line > ;; Keyboard shortcuts for pipe operators do not work in terminal > ;; Use M-x > > (use-package ess > :ensure t > :defer t > :config > (require 'ess-r-mode) > (load "ess-autoloads") > ;; (setq-default inferior-R-program-name "Rterm") > (setq-default inferior-R-program-name >"c:/Program Files/Microsoft/R > Open/R-3.5.1/bin/x64/Rterm.exe") > (define-key ess-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign) > (define-key inferior-ess-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign) > (define-key ess-mode-map (kbd "C->") 'then_R_operator_ess) > (define-key inferior-ess-mode-map (kbd "C->") 'then_R_operator) > (setq inferior-ess-r-help-command >"help(\"%s\", help_type=\"text\")\n") ; display help in emacs > (show-paren-mode) ; show matching > parentheses > (setq ess-eval-visibly 'nowait); emacs is available during command run > ) > ;; > ;; End ESS settings > ;; __ ESS-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
