similar to: Customization options with .Renviron, R_LIBS, .Rprofile etc

On Debian/Ubuntu, system wide environment variables and options are set in respectively /etc/R/Renviron.site and /etc/R/Rprofile.site. These files are automatically created when r-base is installed, and do not get overwritten during an upgrade. On Fedora, there is no /etc/R directory. What is the recommended place to define system wide environment variables and options on a Fedora system?

I am having difficulty coming to grips with Appendix B.2 of the otherwise very useful "An Introduction to R" and the related help file for Startup. I am running RGui 1.6.0 on a Windows 2000 machine from the default installation. How the concepts discussed in B.2 and the Startup help file relate to what I see on my machine is something of a mystery. I quote from the Startup file:

I'm new to R, so apologies if the answer to my question is very obvious to everyone else! I use the carbon version of R (1.5.1), not the Darwin version. After a bit of a battle, I'm getting to grips with using R, and really getting to like it, but I'm still having trouble customising startup the way I'd like it. Reading ?Startup, I see that I can specify some commands to be run

Hi, I have Debian Testing running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2015, 3rd gen.). I would like to have a package library independent of the installed R version. Under Ubuntu, I used to have the following line in ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS=/usr/local/R/library:/usr/lib/R/site-library This worked fine and /usr/local/R/library showed up in .libPaths(). However, under Debian (with the same ~/.Renviron),

[RFC = Request for Comments] { Yes, the documentation for .Renviron is really not there (but the FAQ...); the rest is in ?Startup } In R's Startup (on Unix only??) {unless --no-environ is specified} ~/.Renviron (if there) is read as an 'sh' script before R is called, then R looks ((for the site-wide Rprofile and then)) for .Rprofile in the current directory and then for

Dear Johannes, Dear Dirk, Thanks a lot for helping. Here is the missing information. Here is how I installed R. This is basically how Martin Maechler showed me to install R under Ubuntu (in several versions so that they are also recognized by ESS). My goal is to adjust this to make it work for Debian: 1) sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list # then add: deb

Also, check the settings of R_HOME and/or R_LIBS.

Hello experienced R-ers, I'm converting from S-Plus Win 98SE to SuSE 8.1, R 1.62 and have run into som problems. 1) When I use help.start() netscape comes up OK and all links are accessible except "Search Engine & Keywords" : search doesn't work and the keywords from base doesn't respond either. ?command within R gets netscape running and works OK. 2) I haven't

Regarding user's home and working directories, is Rprofile just an old name of Renviron? or (can) should we have both files with different type of definitions? (talking about R.1.4.0 in linux).

I'm running R on Linux and use emacs as my editor. When doing "edit(vignette(foo.vignette))" I would like to invoke emacs rather than the default vi. I am able to manually set this by editing $R_HOME/etc/Renviron but would like to avoid doing this with each install. I assume this can be accomplished with a flag to .configure or in .Rprofile but I can't find the syntax in R-admin.

I'm the faculty member in my department who advises our IT staff on the details of installing R for students and faculty on our Windows 7 lab network. We are about to upgrade from R 3.1.1 to R 3.2.1, and once that is done, this version of R and all installed packages will be frozen in the image that appears in C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.1/ on every lab computer, and this image is refreshed

Martin, I am aware of --vanilla; I use it myself for some testing. In this case R_LIBS_USER was set externally (part of my login) and does not involve any of the R scripts. That means it is inherited by any subprocess.

Dear All, I would like to reset default R_HOME PATH for R.3.1.3. I installed R-devel in /usr/local/R-devel but I can't install many packages as tcltk. I uninstalled R-devel and I would reuse R.3.1.3 but the PATH is remaining to /usr/local/R-devel. I touch ~.Renviron file with R_HOME=/usr/lib/R/bin/ RSTUDIO_R_HOME=/usr/lib/R/bin/ R_LIBS=~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1

I've been kicking the following idea around for a while, and am now proposing to put some version into 1.7.0. I'd be interested in comments on the desirability and the design, before I start writing any code. S4 introduced a file .S.chapters which can contain a list of S chapters (equivalent to R packages) to be loaded on start-up. This was the germ of this proposal. Proposal: Extend

Dear R-devel: i have noticed a little wrinkle in R packaging for RPM systems and have communicated with the package maintainer at RedHat Tom Callaway (see far below). Here is the question: Where does R Core Team want packagers to fiddle around with R library paths? Currently, the RPM Spec file used for EPEL's R (For Fedora/Redhat/Centos,etc) adds a line in R_HOME/etc/Renviron like this:

I want my local libraries to have priority over the system installed ones, which, as far as I can make out from help(".libPaths"), means they have to come first in that list (it doesn't actually_say_ so, but that seems to be the idea). We have R_LIBS_USER which looks made for specifying where I keep my own libraries. Unfortunately it comes last in .libPaths() [which appears to

Colleagues, I am trying to understand how R (2.12.1) obtains the PATH environment variable in Windows (7 or Vista). Startup {base} directs one to: "R_ENVIRON" -- which equals "" in my systems R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site -- which does not exist Next, it directs to: R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site -- which also does not exist (the expected behavior in a "factory-fresh"

Hi everyone, Two minor points about ?.Renviron. 1) If R_ENVIRON is not set then R defaults to `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron', not `${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron.site' as stated. 2) In the details, there is a missing "way" in "`value' is processed in a similar to a Unix shell."

Dear developers, I am writing a package that depends on some other packages. The dependencies are stated in the `description' file under "Depends". They are installed in my private library, which is pointed to by setting R_LIBS in .Renviron, and are available if R is started normally. However, when I try to `R CMD check' my package, R complains about the dependencies being not
