Sublime Text 2 and R

Question

I am trying to use Sublime Text 2 as an interface for R statistics software [update / edit: Solved!].

On Windows, I tried the following:

• Installed tools R. It turned out that for Macintosh 64 only.

• I tried to program a custom build file. Failure: the output does not return.

  { "cmd": "C:/Program Files/R/R-2.9.2/bin/R.exe --no-save $File" } 

• Installed SublimeREPL. Error: the menu option R ... is disabled

• [update / edit] Tried this (see wuub answer):

   { "default_extend_env": {"PATH": "{PATH};C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.9.2\\bin"} } 

Answer 1

Open the SublimeREPL user settings as follows: Preferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeREPL -> Settings - User

set default_extend_path to point to your R installation:

 { "default_extend_env": {"PATH": "{PATH};C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.14.2\\bin\\i386"} } 

Launch Tools -> SublimeREPL -> R should launch REPL, as expected.

Answer 2

For Windows, you can add a new assembly for R (Tools -> Build System -> New Build System) and place the following lines. Change the path according to your installation directory R.

 {"cmd": ["Rscript.exe", "$file"], "path": "C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.15.2\\bin\\x64\\", "selector": "source.r"} 

You can execute the whole file by pressing ctrl + B instead of running SublimeREPL.

Answer 3

The value of the build system must be an array, so you want;

 { "cmd": ["C:/Program Files/R/R-2.9.2/bin/R.exe", "--no-save", "$File"] }

For Linux users, note:

Sublime Text 2 R build System

It supports multi-segment and interactive R sessions.
