I would appreciate some advice on what the preferred contents of RProfile.site vs. .Rprofile should be. A .First() function can reside in either one, but is it preferred to place it in .Rprofile? I currently use .First() in .Rprofile files placed in separate directories used for different RStudio projects. Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, After updating to R 2.7, my .Rprofile executes twice on startup. I confirmed this by putting in the following line: print("starting .Rprofile...") When I start R, I see: [1] "starting .Rprofile..." [1] "starting .Rprofile..." This seems like the obverse of the following FAQ:

Hello, I'm having some difficulty understanding the documentation relative to the startup files with R-Aqua 2.0.1 for Mac OS X. Specifically, I'm wondering: where does R search for the startup files (my home directory at Users:<me>:?); how should they be named (.RProfile will be treated by Mac OS X as a system file and be hidden, so I'm wondering if it should just be

It seems that my Rprofile.site file is not executed when I start R. To test this I included the following code in that file: .First <- function(){ cat("\nWelcome at", date(), "\n") flush.console() } When I start R the message above is not displayed. I am running R 2.6.1 (rgui.exe) under Vista Home Premium. The Rprofile.site is in the etc folder and the R_PROFILE

I'm trying to source a file automatically every time I start R. I tried adding the following .First function in a file Rprofile.site in my $R_HOME/etc/ directory (verified $R_HOME by Sys.getenv()) as well as in a file .Rprofile in my $HOME directory and .Rprofile in the working directory: .First <- function(){ source(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "R",

Hi all, After a short hiatus away from R I have found that it's changed a bit. I used to keep a definition of .First in .Rprofile that did a couple of things on startup (load a couple of libraries). Now, I've discovered that when I change the definition of .First in .Rprofile it doesn't change anything when I start up, because .First is held over in .Rdata from the last session.

Hi everyone. I have recently installed R 2.14.1 on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. I am attempting to include some favourite functions in the Rprofile.site file to run at R start-up as I did with my previous 32-bit XP machine. I have edited the Rprofile.site file in "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\etc\" but the added code doesn't seem to be executed when I run R, whether through Tinn-R

I'd like to follow up on this one. It may be that I have misunderstood something, but on both R devel (2012-02-22 r58452) and R 2.14.1 patched (2012-02-18 r58394) I can't seem to avoid loading ~/.Rprofile when I run 'R CMD <cmd>', e.g. R CMD build. For me, the loading of ~/.Rprofile by 'R CMD' started a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen it before. More details

[Env: WinXp, R 2.9.2] In my .Rprofile, I define a number of utility functions I'd like to have available in my R session, but don't want them to be *normally* listed by ls(), or more importantly, saved if I save my session variables/functions. How can I do this? -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor, Psychology Dept. York University Voice: 416

Not sure whether this is a feature or bug -- but it does not appear to be documented. R1.6.1 on Windows NT 4.00.1381 Objects assigned in the Rprofile.site file (e.g. foo<-'something') are put into package:base not .GlobalEnv on startup. Objects assigned in the .Rprofile file are put into .GlobalEnv. This doesn't seem consistent to me. The objects exist in base only for the

dear wizards: my .Rprofile has just one command for testing, loadhistory("~/.Rhistory") but this gives me an error on R startup: Error: couldn't find function "loadhistory" Invoking loadhistory() as the first interactive command works fine; incidentally, I believe loadhistory() in the .Rprofile worked in earlier or other platform R releases, too. Is the .Rprofile

I am new to R ( and windows XP ) and am in the process of setting it up I put an options (repos=http://.fhcrc.org") file in my .Rprofile file and it works but that's all I put in and i don'tknow what to put in my .First function. I understand that .Rprofile is used for more general options and .First for options specific to that working directory. would someone mind to send me an

I am trying to install custom packages upon starting R. A lot of the code that is written by us right now is available for editing to the users. To try and protect the code, I am packaging the production level code and having the users install it on their machine during start up. However, when I try to install packages in RProfile.site file, the program goes into a loop and R is constantly

Hello: I've been using "Rprofile.site" for several years to set the repos environment variable as follows: options(repos=c(CRAN='http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu', CRANextra='http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin') ) However, R 2.15.0 is not recognizing this. Instead, I get the following: options('repos') $repos

After upgrading to R 1.9.0, I started getting the following error on startup: Error: couldn't find function "ps.options" My .Rprofile file contains this line: ps.options(paper="letter",horizontal=F) If I type "source ~/.Rprofile" after R starts, it works just fine. Did something related to startup change in R 1.9.0? -akop

Hi! I do not have an Rprofile file in $R_HOME/etc, but I do have one in $R_HOME/library/base/R. I thought I could include a .First() function in a new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile file for attaching a couple files which have custom "always needed" functions. But would the new $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile create a conflict with $R_HOME/library/base/R/Rprofile (in particular because the later also has a

Hi, Is there a way to incorporate an R object x to a file already containing R objects? It seems that 'save' is not capable to do this. If I save x to a file containing previously saved data, then I will lose this data. I use the funcion hsv in .Rprofile but it is recognized. Couriously, if I source .Rprofile when R is already running I do not get any error message. Thank you.

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).
