Re: [ESS] Have M-x R point at the most recent version of R

[Dominic Steinitz via ESS-help]

I have been meaning to reply to this for some time and maybe a partial answer 
now is better than a complete answer in several months time.

I use envrc https://github.com/purcell/envrc with direnv https://direnv.net/ 
and nix https://nixos.org/. With these I can have a different R (and different 
packages) in each project I work on and emacs and any shells automatically pick 
up this version and required libraries. Just to be clear I can have different 
versions of R in different projects. I can also have different versions of 
packages in different projects. And ESS just picks them up without me 
configuring emacs.

For a project I am working on at the moment I have my R set up as

> let
>   R-with-my-packages = nixpkgs.rWrapper.override{
> packages = with nixpkgs.rPackages; [
>   ggplot2
>   maps
>   rnaturalearth
>   rnaturalearthdata
>   sf
>   tidyverse
> ]; };


And all the dependencies for the R packages are made available (e.g. gdal, 
proj, geos, libtiff) automatically. In this example, I didn’t specify versions 
and let nix choose them for me so I got e.g ggplot 3.4.2 but I could have 
specified a different version e.g. a bug fixed version that hasn’t been 
released to CRAN.

Of course you can use this for much more than R.

PS I want to say thanks to everyone that contributes to ESS and provides help 
on this email channel. It’s a great tool :-)

Re: [ESS] Have M-x R point at the most recent version of R

[Manuel Teodoro via ESS-help]

ESS needs C:/Programme/R/R-4.2.2/bin/R.exe

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but it seems to me that you want to
define it in your init file, but then you will have to update it each time
that you change R versions. Use the following line

(setq inferior-ess-r-program "C:/Users/manuel/Bin/R-4.2.2/bin/R.exe")

Change the path for whichever path/version you have. For example, I am
developing some software under version 4.1.2 so, whenever I need to switch
to that I just write in the *scratch* buffer (it works from anywhere
actually) the following

(setq inferior-ess-r-program "C:/Users/manuel/Bin/R-4.1.2/bin/R.exe")

Stand at the very end of the line, C-x C-e to evaluate the expression and
my next R session. Since I don't do it often I just write and evaluate the
line. But it would be easy to create a function that switches versions as
you command it.

For me this is easier than allowing ESS to find it because I don't have it
installed in the default path due to admin restrictions. I hope it can help
you.

Re: [ESS] Have M-x R point at the most recent version of R

[Hüsing , Johannes via ESS-help]

Mark, thanks for this hint, which reminded me to check the entries in my  
.emacs.d/init.el file.

> I set the R version using something like this in my init file:
> (setq inferior-ess-r-program "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.1/bin/x64/Rterm.exe")

I commented out (setq inferior-ess-r-program "C:/Program 
Files/R/R-4.2.2/bin/x64/Rterm.exe") in my init.el and after restarting Emacs, 
things seem to work now.

Best wishes

Johannes

Re: [ESS] Have M-x R point at the most recent version of R

[Mark Seeto via ESS-help]

Hi Johannes,

I set the R version using something like this in my init file:
(setq inferior-ess-r-program "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.1/bin/x64/Rterm.exe")

But I'm still using ESS 18.10.2 (in Vincent Goulet's Emacs
distribution) so that line might not be the right way to do it in the
version you're using.

Hope that helps.

Mark

Re: [ESS] Have M-x R point at the most recent version of R

[Hüsing , Johannes via ESS-help]

Thanks for the hint.

The path variable is now 
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64;C:\Program
 Files\R\R-4.3.1\bin;

M-x R will still start R-4.2.2. After renaming C:\Programme\R\R-4.2.2, M-x R 
will lead to Emacs displaying the message:
C:/Programme/R/R-4.2.2/bin/R program not found

Is there a way to proceed to notify ESS about the new version installed and 
have it start by default?
