SublimeREPL Unable to Find R
r, sublimerepl, sublimetext3
Solution
Go to `Preferences -> Browse Packages...` and create a directory tree `User/SublimeREPL/config/R`. In that directory, create a new file named `Main.sublime-menu` with the following contents:
[
{
"id": "tools",
"children":
[{
"caption": "SublimeREPL",
"mnemonic": "r",
"id": "SublimeREPL",
"children":
[
{"command": "repl_open",
"caption": "Rterm",
"id": "repl_r",
"mnemonic": "r",
"args": {
"type": "subprocess",
"external_id": "r",
"additional_scopes": ["tex.latex.knitr"],
"encoding": {"windows": "$win_cmd_encoding"},
"soft_quit": "\nquit(save=\"no\")\n",
"cmd": {"windows": ["C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.2/bin/x64/Rterm.exe", "--ess", "--encoding=$win_cmd_encoding"]},
"cwd": "$file_path",
"extend_env": {"windows": {"PATH": "{PATH}:/C/Program Files/R/R-3.0.2/bin"}},
"cmd_postfix": "\n",
"suppress_echo": {"windows": false},
"syntax": "Packages/R/R.tmLanguage"
}
}
]
}]
}
]
Save the file, and you should now have a `Tools -> SublimeREPL -> Rterm` menu option. Double-check that the path is the correct one to the `Rterm.exe` file. On my computer (32-bit XP) it's in the `i386` subfolder of `bin`, so yours may be in `bin/x64` or something like that.
I hope this helps, let me know if you still have issues.
Problem
Okay, this is driving my crazy. I had set this up before, deleted Sublime Text, and now I can't remember what the right configuration was. Very simple: I'm running R through SublimeREPL and need to point the REPL to where R is installed. I followed the directions at http://sublimerepl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/, which say to go into the user-defined REPL settings and add this: ``` { ... "default_extend_env": {"PATH": "{PATH}:/home/myusername/bin"} ... } ``` where the path points to the right directory. I tried replacing it with ``` { ... "default_extend_env": {"PATH": "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.2/bin"} ... } ``` and it's still unable to find R, plus now it's giving me the error: ``` Error trying to parse settings: Expected value in Packages\User\SublimeREPL.sublime- settings:2:2 ``` I know this is an easy fix. Can anybody point out what I'm doing wrong here? *I'm using Sublime Text 3. I previously had this working, but on Sublime Text 2. I've been to http://tomschenkjr.net/using-sublime-text-2-for-r/ and the piece where he mentions "pointing SublimeREPL at R" ... he doesn't include the actual code, as far as I can see I've also seen this thread Error 2 The system cannot find the file specified in Sublime Text 2, Windows 8, but I had it working before and didn't have to do anything along those lines
