#Aquamacs driver

To allow this R session to be linked to your *.R script, use this command in the remote R session:Д¦) Now you should be able to send code from your *.R script to the remote R session as you normally would (e.g., C-c C-j).Д§) Last, you need to change the options in your remote R session to graph using X11 rather than whatever default driver is being used. Now open up R as you usually would on that server.

Ssh -XC You should now be logged into the server, just as you wold be if youвЂ™d used terminal rather than emacs. When doing this, you need to make sure to specify two important ssh options: compression (which compress data coming to you, making the connection seem *much* faster) and X11 forwarding (which allows you to use interactive graphing features via X11). Aquamacs is a cutting-edge Emacs based on GNU Emacs (stable branch, version 22.x), patched to contain better Mac-like features and augmented with numerous EmacsLisp-based customization packages. HereвЂ™ how:ДЎ) Open up your *.R script youвЂ™d like to useДў) Open a shell inside Emacs by typing вЂњM-x shellвЂќДЈ) From within this shell, ssh to the server you want to use. Aquamacs comes with a nice manual (easy to access via the Apple Help system), and we provide the GNU EmacsManual via the same Help system. It can be very helpful to run an interactive session of R on a remote server, which may have faster CPUs and more memory than the computer youвЂ™re on, or may have datasets on it you donвЂ™t have access to otherwise. USING EMACS TO LOG IN TO A REMOTE SERVER & RUN R INTERACTIVELY

$aquamacs$

What I do is to set вЂњoptions(device=вЂќquartzвЂќ) within my Rprofile.site file. If you really want to use X11 to write graphics, you can use x11(type='Xlib')' for each new graph. Now your null graphics device is quartz and it should all work out. To change this, type in R: вЂњoptions(device=вЂќquartzвЂќ)вЂќ. Aquamacs has X11 as the default (null) graphics device. Just one more issue: graphing will crash (something to do with the new R and X11). A new window will open up that is the R session.Д¤) ThatвЂ™s almost it.

HereвЂ™s where you tell it you want to run 64-bit R. Aquamacs will ask you for вЂњStarting ArgsвЂќ. Emacs has a bit of a learning curve, but youвЂ™ll begin loving its capabilities as an aid to programming very soon.ДЈ) To start 64-bit R from within aquamacs hit -u then -x then вЂњRвЂќ then. I highly recommend checking out this page,, and downloading the ESS reference card therein if you are new.

#Aquamacs install

Download Aquamacs from and install it.Дў) Now any file with an вЂњ.RвЂќ extension that is opened with aquamacs will automatically have syntax highlighting AND will allow you to start 64-bit R. No need to separately download ESS (emacs speaks statistics) or mess with the. 1) Aquamacs is terrific because it comes bundled with about everything you need to start using R with it.
