That's it! If you are installing just a local copy of ESS for yourself,
76
ESS is now ready to be used. (The remaining step below is for
77
advanced installation.) To edit statistical programs, load the files
78
with the requiste extensions (".sas" for SAS, ".S" for S-PLUS, ".R" for
79
R, and ".lsp" for XLispStat). To start a statistical process within
80
Emacs, such as R, type @code{M-x R}.

109
If you want to place the compiled files in other locations edit the LISPDIR and INFODIR
110
entries in @file{Makeconf} in the ESSDIR/ess-VERSION directory (if you are using XEmacs,
111
then you also need to edit the EMACS entry as follows: EMACS=xemacs).
106
If you want to place the compiled files in other locations edit the
107
@code{LISPDIR}, @code{INFODIR} and @code{ETCDIR} entries in Section 1 of
108
@file{Makeconf} in the @file{ESSDIR/ess-VERSION} directory (if you are
109
using XEmacs, then see the XEmacs subsection in Section 1 of @file{Makeconf}).
113

You can compile those files by:
123
This will install the compiled info files and lisp files. If you are an
124
XEmacs user, then you should be done. If not, then you may have to
125
edit/create the file @file{dir} that is found in the directory specified
126
by @code{INFODIR}: see the sample @file{dir} in ESSDIR/ess-VERSION/doc/info.
127
If @file{dir} does not exist in @code{INFODIR}, then the sample
128
@file{dir} will be installed.
121
@c This will install the compiled info files and lisp files. If you are an
122
@c XEmacs user, then you should be done. If not, then you may have to
123
@c edit/create the file @file{dir} that is found in the directory specified

@c If @file{dir} does not exist in @code{INFODIR}, then the sample
126
@c @file{dir} will be installed.

@emph{Note:} ESS can be installed for XEmacs as an XEmacs package
131
much more easily than what has been described anywhere above. However,
132
the latest ESS version will not be available at the same time as an
133
XEmacs package; generally, it can take weeks or months to appear in the
134
latter format. For more information on installing ESS as an XEmacs
135
package see @uref{http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html, Quickstart Package Guide}.
128
@emph{Note:} ESS is no longer available as an XEmacs package. However,
129
ESS will work best if the XEmacs sumo tarball (all XEmacs packages combined)
130
has been installed. For more information on installing XEmacs packages, see
131
@uref{http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html, Quickstart Package Guide}.

@comment An alternative, if you are running XEmacs and have access to the
138
134
@comment XEmacs system directories, would be to place the directory in the
159
cd to a directory where you keep emacs lisp files, or create a new
155
@code{cd} to a directory where you keep emacs lisp files, or create a new
160
156
directory (for example, @file{c:\emacs\}) to hold the distribution. This
161
157
directory will be referred to below as "the ESS distribution
162
158
directory". It will contain, at the end, either the tar file
186

into a subdirectory, @file{ess-VERSION}.
