Question

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

On Windows, I have tried the following:

1. Installed R Tools. Turned out to be for Macintosh 64 only.

2. Tried to program custom build file. Failed: no output returned.

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

3. Installed SublimeREPL. Failed: R menu option disabled…

4. [update/edit] Tried this (see wuub’s reply):

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

Answer 1

Open SublimeREPL’s user settings like this: Preferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeREPL -> Settings - User

there 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"}  
}

Running Tools -> SublimeREPL -> R should launch REPL as expected.
