I am quite new with Sublime Text 2. I would like to write my script in ST2 and run/send it to the R console. I don't want to use SublimeREPL (most of the forums deal with this) because I want to have my R console open on the side.
I tried to install "R Tools" and the installation of this package seems to work. However, when I open my script.r file and try to run it, nothing happens. I also tried to specify the path to go to R in TOols>Build systems> new build systems... withou being successful.
Can someone give me a trick to solve this?
Thanks a lot!
The easiest way is to install the Enhanced-R package via the Package Manager in Sublime:
Install the Package Control here
Access the Package Manager within Sublime (on Windows: Ctrl+Shift+P)
Type Install Package and then Enhanced-R
Send the highlighted code to R console (on Windows: Ctr+Enter)
You can see the Enhanced-R package description and relevant key bindings here
I just stumbled upon this post because I had a similar problem using Sublime and R. Maybe this helps someone who wants to have a similar setup. Hopefully there will be more and more R users considering Sublime. I figured out the following solution using the Sublime build system in an external xterm terminal (for Linux, but it should be very similar to a setup on Win/Mac systems):
Sublime Text 3 build system: keep console running

I installed Scilab 5.5.2 on Windows 10, and then installed the Scilab Code Generator toolbox.
However, when I start Scilab, the following message appears and I can't use the toolbox. This problem occurs for every toolbox.
Start Scilab Code Generator
Version: 0.9.20190122
Load macros
atomsLoad: An error occurred while loading 'xcos_code_generator-0.9.20190122':
File "C:\Users\光\AppData\Roaming\Scilab\SCILAB~1.2\atoms\x64\XCOS_C~1\09E129~1.201\macros\names" does not exist or read access denied.
(光 is my username.)
I suppose the problem comes from "\Scilab\SCILAB~1.2" in the middle of the file path. In my computer, the only folder in "Scilab" is "scilab-5.5.2", so indeed the software cannot find the file it's looking for.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I need to use the toolbox at work soon, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Note: I'm not using the latest Scilab 6.0.2 because it fails to work on my computer. It closes immediately after I open it.
I solved the problem by myself.
It was my user name "光" that caused the problem. I found people saying that user names in full-width characters such as Japanese sometimes cause problems like this.
The solution is to create another user account with a name in half-width characters and install Scilab in that account. (Just changing the full-width user name doesn't work because it doesn't change the filenames that already exist.)
I couldn't find the solution until today because I was searching for solutions only in the context of Scilab, not in the context of software in general.
I hope this answer helps someone.
I'm not sure why you are using an outdated version of Scilab. The latest version is 6.0.2 on Windows. If the newer version doesn't work properly then that's the problem you need to fix first. To test your Scilab installation you may run it in the terminal. Find the installation folder. For me, it is C:\Program Files\scilab-6.0.2\bin the on cmd go to the path and run Scilex.exe. If not uninstall everything and install it in a proper way. My recommendation is to uninstall the old Scilab you already have. Then:
Install Chocolatey package manager
Open PowerShell as Admin and run choco update all -y, once in a while update your packages this way.
run choco install Scilab -y
then open the Scilab software
run the atomsInstall("xcos_code_generator") in the console
runt the atomsLoad("xcos_code_generator") to make sure your package is installed properly. You should see this as a result:
--> atomsInstall("xcos_code_generator")

I was using my own laptop to install R and I found that it only has one library. Evne though this library is still read only, everytime when I use Rstudio: install.packages("abc"), I can see that the new packages are stored automatically into that read only library folder.
In my office's desktop, I "believe" I also have administrator role, as I can install and remove anything (by far). I download the latest version of R and I right click the R-3.4.1-win.exe, there is an item "run as administrator", then it is installed in my desktop. However, when I use R studio to install new packages as in my laptop, it always automatically create a personal folder to store the new packages. I don't know why. Is that a way to only have one folder for library? I also tried on the desktop in the plain R mode (without using Rstudio). When I want to install new packages, it always says
Warning in install.packages("devtools") :
'lib = "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.4.1/library"' is not writable
And there is a window pops up to ask me "would you like to create a personal folder?" And if I say no, then
Error in install.packages("devtools") : unable to install packages.
Is there a ways to solve this problem? To just maintain one folder for library
What version of Windows are you using? You should be able to right-click on the Rstudio.exe icon, click Properties, and select an option to always run Rstudio as administrator. Be sure you use that same icon whenever you want to open Rstudio.
Incase of Mac, go to Applications, then right click on RStudio and
Select "Show Package Contents"
Go to Contents/MacOS
Now open terminal(in bash mode). Type sudo and drag the RStudio.exec into terminal and press on ENTER
Now RStudio will have admin access!
For completeness, I think there should be an Ubuntu answer to go along with the Microsoft and Apple answers. (Note:I'm using 18.06, and not 20.x.)
What doesn't work:
On my Ubuntu/Linux system, when Rstudio is installed the call start RStudio from a terminal looks something like the following:
(base) username#sysname:~$ rstudio
It starts, but has the permissions of the user, and can have access errors.
What gives admin power:
To give it better permissions, you can use sudo.
(base) username#sysname:~$ sudo rstudio
[sudo] password for username: <enter password here>
It starts in a different user location, but has more power. After it is installed you can run it the regular way and the packages are still installed.

I'm trying to use the SemiMarkov package and I want to change one small line of code in there. I've done some digging via:
getAnywhere("semiMarkov")
& I've identified that I want to change this line:
hessian <- diag(ginv(hessian(V, solution)))
to try something like:
hessian <- diag(ginv(pracma::hessian(V, solution)))
How do I go about this? Do I need to rebuild the package from scratch, and if so do I need rTools etc for this, or is there a simple-ish workaround (I'm a relevant R novice)? I've done some searching online and can't find anything obvious. Any ideas/pointers gratefully appreciated.
If you'd like to simply test out the effect of that change in an interactive R session, you can do so using trace(). Here's how:
Type trace("semiMarkov", edit=TRUE)
In the text editor that that launches, edit the line of interest.
Save the modified file.
Close the text editor
Back in R, use the modified function.
Linux environment
Starting with downloading the package source from CRAN.
This is the landing page: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SemiMarkov/index.html
This is the package source: https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/SemiMarkov_1.4.2.tar.gz
Download and extract the source:
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/SemiMarkov_1.4.2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf SemiMarkov_1.4.2.tar.gz
This should result in a directory named SemiMarkov. Open up the source (cd SemiMarkov), and modify as necessary.
Next, build the changes:
cd ..
R CMD build SemiMarkov/
This will result in a new archive file named SemiMarkov_1.4.2.tar.gz.
Lastly, install your modified archive:
R CMD INSTALL SemiMarkov_1.4.2.tar.gz
Windows environment
I'm less familiar with the Windows platform. *nix tooling is available in Cygwin, but it's painful. Instead, as Josh O'Brien points out, you should follow the Windows-specific instructions in the R Installation and Administration manual.
I'm trying to get R to recognize that I have installed Rtools.exe. I've tried installing it in several different locations. However, whenever I restart R and load devtools I get the same error:
> library(devtools)
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but is not currently installed.
Please download and install Rtools 3.0 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows
/Rtools/ and then run find_rtools().
Naturally, whenever I try the function find_rtools() I get the same error message. I'm done trying to figure this out with help files, as the devtools help doesn't offer much. I've tried installing in several of the locations returned by get_path() but the problem persists.
FYI, currently my R is installed at D:/R.
Has anyone else had this problem, and more importantly, can anyone help me?
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, and I've tried to include as many relevant details as possible so if you need any clarification please let me know.
Thanks,
Nick
Grab the batch file Rpathset.bat from batchfiles, edit the SET statements in it appropriately and then run R like this from the Windows console:
Rpathset
Rgui
I ran into this issue running a Windows 7 machine without admin rights. I leveraged G. Grothendieck's response, with a few additional steps.
Get Rpathset.bat from https://code.google.com/p/batchfiles/
Edit the Set statements in Rpathset.bat to your paths
Run CMD and change directories to where Rpathset.bat is stored
In the command prompt, run rpathset.bat > mypath.txt
Open mypath.txt with a text editor
Click Windows Start and search for environment
Click Edit environment variables for your account
Click path and then edit
Copy and paste the entire path from mypath.txt into the Windows path (everything after the path statement)
Restart RStudio and check that devtools::find_rtools() is TRUE
This file rtools.r contains the code for find_rtools(). It looks like it is trying to find ls and gcc in your system path (and then does some more checks based on the version) and if that fails it tries to look up SOFTWARE\R-core\Rtools in the the Windows registry.
As Thomas mentioned here, "Rtools is not a package." This is what I did to install Rtools. My RStudio is running R version 3.1.3. So I downloaded Rtools31.exe from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/. I executed the exe file, selected all the default options in the Setup Wizard and installed. (I had admin privilege on the computer I was using but I am not sure if that makes any difference.) To check that it was properly installed, you can enter find_rtools() in the R prompt which should return TRUE if Rtools installed properly.
For R 3.0, you probably just need to download Rtools30.exe and follow the same steps above.
I ran into this problem trying to install Rtools33 to use Hadley Wickham's lineprof package. I got that error multiple times. I'm running Windows 7 on a laptop.
I was able to fix the problem by running the Rtools installation file as the windows Admin (i.e. right-click the Rtools33.exe and choose "Run as administrator")
I also made sure to point the path to the R source directory, which I kept in C:\Rtools\ (which contains C:\Rtools\bin\ and C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\).
This solved the problem for me and I am now able to install lineprof from GitHub and make use of it.
What do I do when I get the following error message in Eclipse when trying to launch R?
"no session of R is active in the current workbench window"
I've made a tutorial for installing StatET on my Win64 system, you can find it here (mirror). Although it's no rocket science it's easy to get into issues along the way.
You need to first configure R for your system and then you also need to go into Run > Run Configurations... and add a R Console before you can run it.
You also need to be careful about the Java version that you use. I had to uninstall all my Java, then reinstall the 64-bit before it worked. I guess I could've used the 32-bit, but since I use 64-bit R I thought that it might be a better option (although I think the Eclipse environment and R don't really care about sharing bits)
for me had to select rterm, that displayed the r console/terminal. Then do run , run as -> run in R as script via source
I had the sampe problem.
go to Run > Run Configurations > RStudio
and klick on "Run"
