Hi R-helpers: Can you offer assistance in my getting .Rprofile and .Rprofile.site to run in RStudio? When I start RStudio nothing happens. I have put .Rprofile in [1] and [2], and .Rprofile.site in [2]. Below, the info I believe you need to know. Thanks, in advance, for any help. Bruce The .Rprofile and .Rprofile.site are R-type files, which contain the two lines below. Also, I tried the profile files as text files. options(prompt="R> ") set.seed(12345)>Sys.getenv("HOME") [1] "C:/Users/BruceRatner/Documents" >Sys.getenv("R_HOME") [2] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-33~1.3"--

[R] Setting .Rprofile for RStudio on a Windows 7 x64bit
I think the site-specific R profile should be, using R syntax
file.path(R.home("etc"), "Rprofile.site") # no dot before
the capital R
The personal R profile will be
file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), ".Rprofile") # there is a
dot before capital R
but if a local R profile,
file.path(getwd(), ".Rprofile") # there is a dot before capital R
exists it will be used and the one in HOME will not be. (getwd() should
be the startup directory.)

Bill: Thanks for reply. Sorry, I do not understand it. For example, where do I put "file.path(getwd(), ".Rprofile")" ?
