If I start Aquamacs in the terminal with -nw it works perfectly. top shows it running at the top of the process list but even after 30 minutes nothing on screen. Update: I have now switched to RStudio since it is free, cross platform compatible, and simple to setup. Now when I start it is just displays the Apple menu and the Aquamacs menu but nothing ever appears on screen.
#Aquamacs setups how to
I had already deleted R32 so I know that Emacs will default to R64 but I’m not sure how to work with both versions. Make sure to “Save for future sessions” before closing the buffer. I like to have ESS start from the the same directory every time so I add my directory to the “ESS Directory” option and turn off the “ESS Ask for ESS Directory” option. You can also click the settings icon only after you have opened an R script. To customize ESS, select Customize Aquamacs -> Customize Group… from the Options menu and type ess at the prompt.
You can also open an existing R script and click the R icon to start R. You can also use the key as the meta key. On Aquamacs, the right option key is set up to be the meta key so you can simply press x before the actual command. To execute a meta command, type u, x and the actual command. Emacs is available through the terminal but setting up and using ESS without menus does not provide an easier working environment than the RGUI or R Commander.Įmacs uses what are called meta commands since it originated before toolbars. I decided to use Aquamacs because it looks and behaves the most like a modern OS X application and has ESS enabled when installed. OS X does come with Emacs installed but I didn’t want to go through the hassle of setting up ESS with the existing EMacs. Since I do not have any prior experience with Emacs and have not invested any time creating configuration settings and learning keyboard shortcuts, my main goal was to get a very Mac friendly Emacs version that just worked. Now, I am ready for something more advanced and have decided to try ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics). After a few months, I came to appreciate the simplicity of the RGui that is standard on R installation.
When I first started learning R, I used R Commander as my GUI since it worked with all my operating systems and was relatively easy to setup and use.
