Microsoft Windows installation
34
==============================
35
36
For Microsoft Windows installation, please follow the next steps:
37
(see separate instructions above for UNIX *Note Unix installation::.
38
39
1. cd to a directory where you keep emacs lisp files, or create a
40
new directory (for example, `c:\emacs\') to hold the
41
distribution. This directory will be referred to below as "the
42
ESS distribution directory". It will contain, at the end,
43
either the tar file `ess-5.1.20.tar.gz' or the zip file
44
`ess-5.1.20.zip', and a directory for the ESS source, which
45
will be termed "the ESS-5.1.20 source directory".
46
47
2. Retrieve the compressed tar file `ess-5.1.20.tar.gz' or the
48
zipped file `ess-5.1.20.zip' from one of the FTP or WWW
49
archive sites via FTP (or HTTP). Be aware that http browsers
50
on Windows frequently change the "." and "-" characters in
51
filenames to other punctuation. Please change the names back
52
to their original form.
53
54
3. Copy `ess-5.1.20.tar.gz' to the location where you want the
55
ess-5.1.20 directory, for example to
56
`c:\emacs\ess-5.1.20.tar.gz', and cd there. For example,
57
58
cd c:\emacs
59
60
Extract the files from the distribution, which will unpack
61
into a subdirectory, `ess-5.1.20'.
62
gunzip ess-5.1.20.tar.gz
63
tar vxf ess-5.1.20.tar
64
(or: `gunzip < ess-5.1.20.tar.gz | tar vxf -' ).
65
(or: from the zip file: `unzip ess-5.1.20.zip')
66
67
The `tar' command will extract files into the current directory.
68
69
Do not create `ess-5.1.20' yourself, or you will get an extra level
70
of depth to your directory structure.
71
72
4. Windows users will usually be able to use the
73
`lisp/ess-site.el' as distributed. Only rarely will changes
74
be needed.
75
76
5. Windows users will need to make sure that the directories
77
for the software they will be using is in the PATH
78
environment variable. On Windows 9x, add lines similar to
79
the following to your `c:\autoexec.bat' file:
80
path=%PATH%;c:\progra~1\spls2000\cmd
81
On Windows NT/2000, add the directories to the PATH using the
82
MyComputer menu. Note that the directory containing the
83
program is added to the PATH, not the program itself. One
84
such line is needed for each software program. Be sure to
85
use the abbreviation `progra~1' and not the long version with
86
embedded blanks. Use backslashes "\".
87
88
6. Add the line
89
(load "/PATH/ess-site")
90
to your .emacs (or _emacs) file (or default.el or
91
site-init.el, for a site-wide installation). Replace `/PATH'
92
above with the value of ess-lisp-directory as defined in
93
`ess-site.el'. Use forwardslashes `/'.
94
95
7. (OPTIONAL) If you are running Sqpe or R, you might consider
96
installing the database files. From within (X)Emacs, `C-x d'
97
to the directory containing ESS. Now:
98
M-x Sqpe+6
99
(get running. once you have reached the SPLUS prompt, do:)
100
M-x ess-create-object-name-db
101
(this will create the file `ess-s+6-namedb.el'; if it isn't
102
in the ESS directory, move it there).
103
104
Then, completions will be autoloaded and will not be regenerated
105
for every session.
106
107
For R, do the same, using
108
M-x R
109
and then `M-x ess-create-object-name-db' creating
110
`ess-r-namedb.el'; if it isn't in the ESS directory, move it
111
there).
112
113
8. For more information on using ESS in your daily work, see the
114
files doc/README.SPLUS4WIN, doc/README.S, doc/README.SAS, and
115
doc/README.XLispStat.
116
117
For the impatient, the quick version of usage follows:
118
119
9. To edit statistical programs, load the files with the
120
requisite extensions (".sas" for SAS, ".S" or "s" or "q" or
121
"Q" for S-PLUS, ".r" or ".R" for R, and ".lsp" for
122
XLispStat).
123
124
10. To run statistical processes under (X)Emacs:
125
126
Run S-PLUS 6.x or 2000 with:
127
M-x S+6
128
(or `M-x S'). You will then be asked for a pathname
129
("S starting data directory?"), from which to start the
130
process. The prompt will propose your current directory as
131
the default. Similarly for S-PLUS 6.x. Send lines or regions
132
from the emacs buffer containing your S program (for example,
133
`myfile.s') to the S-Plus Commands Window with the `C-c C-n'
134
or `C-c C-r' keys.
135
136
Run S-PLUS 6.x or 2000 inside an emacs buffer
137
M-x Sqpe+6
138
You will then be asked for a pathname ("S starting data
139
directory?"), from which to start the process. The prompt will
140
propose your current directory as the default. Similarly for
141
S-PLUS 6.x. Send lines or regions from the emacs buffer
142
containing your S program (for example, `myfile.s') to the
143
*S+6* buffer with the `C-c C-n' or `C-c C-r' keys. You do
144
not have access to interactive graphics in this mode.
145
You get Unix-like behavior, in particular the entire
146
transcript is available for emacs-style search commands.
147
148
If you wish to run R, you can start it with:
149
M-x R
150
151
XLispStat can not currently be run with
152
M-x XLS
153
Hopefully, this will change. However, you can still edit with
154
Emacs, and cut and paste the results into the XLispStat
155
*Listener* Window under Microsoft Windows.
156
157
SAS for Windows uses the batch access with function keys that is
158
described in `doc/README.SAS'. The user can also edit SAS files
159
in an `ESS[SAS]' buffer and than manually copy and paste them
160
into an Editor window in the SAS Display Manager.
161
162
For Windows, inferior SAS in an `iESS[SAS]' buffer does not work
163
on the local machine. It does work over a network connection to
164
SAS running on a remote Unix computer.
165
166
Reason: we use ddeclient to interface with programs and SAS
167
doesn't provide the corresponding ddeserver capability.
168
169
11. That's it!

174
175
Other variables you may need to change
176
======================================
177
178
If you run the S program (from the shell) with a command other than
179
`Splus' you will need to set the variable `inferior-ess-program' to the
180
name of the appropriate program by including a line such as
181
(setq inferior-ess-program "S+")
182
183
in your `.emacs' file
184
185
(substituting `S+' for the name of your S program.)
186
187
If you need to call this program with any arguments, the variable you
188
need to set is dependent on the value of `inferior-ess-program'; for
189
example if it is `"Splus"', set the variable `inferior-Splus-args' to a
190
string of arguments to the `Splus' program. If `inferior-ess-program'
191
has some other value, substitute the `Splus' part of
192
`inferior-Splus-args' with the appropriate program name. There aren't
193
many instances where you need to call S with arguments, however: in
194
particular do not call the S program with the `-e' command-line editor
195
argument since ESS provides this feature for you.
196
197
If you are running Splus (the enhanced version of S from Statsci) you
198
may also need to set the variable `S-plus' to `t'. If your value of
199
`inferior-ess-program' is `"S+"' or `Splus' this will not be necessary,
200
however; `S-plus' defaults to `t' in this case.
201
202
Finally, if you use a non-standard prompt within S, you will need to
203
set the variable `inferior-ess-prompt' to a regular expression which
204
will match both the primary prompt (`"> "' by default) and the
205
continuing prompt (default of `"+ "'.) The default value of this
206
variable matches S's default prompts. For example, if you use (`"$ "')
207
as your primary prompt (you have `options(prompt="$ ")' in your
208
`.First' function), add the following line to your `.emacs':
209
(setq inferior-ess-prompt "^\\(\\+\\|[^\\$]*\\$\\) *")
210
211
You will also need to set the variable `inferior-ess-primary-prompt' to
212
a regular expression which matches the primary prompt only. Do not
213
anchor the regexp to the beginning of the line with `^'. Once again,
214
the default value matches S's default prompt; in the example above the
215
appropriate value would be `"[^\\$]*\\$ *"'.
216
217
Once these variables are set appropriately, ESS should work on any
218
system.

Customizing ESS
224
***************
225
226
ESS can be easily customized to your taste simply by including the
227
appropriate lines in your `.emacs' file. There are numerous variables
228
which affect the behavior of ESS in certain situations which can be
229
modified to your liking. Keybindings may be set or changed to your
230
preferences, and for per-buffer customizations hooks are also available.

Variables for customization
242
===========================
243
244
ESS is easily customizable by means of setting variables in your
245
`.emacs' file. In most cases, you can change defaults by including
246
lines of the form
247
(setq VARIABLE-NAME VALUE)
248
249
in your `.emacs'.
250
251
In what follows, variable names will be listed along with their
252
descriptions and default values. Just substitute the variable name and
253
the new value into the template above.

Variables for starting ESS
267
--------------------------
268
269
- User Option: ess-ask-for-ess-directory
270
Default: `t'
271
If this variable has a non-`nil' value, then every time ESS is run
272
with `M-x S' you will be prompted for a directory to use as the
273
working directory for your S session; this directory should have a
274
`.Data' subdirectory. If the value of `ess-ask-for-ess-directory'
275
is `nil', the value of `S-directory' is used as the working
276
directory.
277
278
- User Option: S-directory
279
Default: Your home directory
280
The working directory for your S session if
281
`ess-ask-for-ess-directory' is `nil', and the default when
282
prompting for a directory if it is not. For example, you may wish
283
to set this to the value of the current buffer's working directory
284
before starting S by adding the following line to your `.emacs'
285
file (*note Hooks::)
286
(setq ess-pre-run-hook
287
'((lambda () (setq S-directory default-directory))))
288
289
- User Option: ess-ask-about-display
290
Default: `nil'
291
If this variable has a non-`nil' value, then every time ESS is run
292
with `M-x S' you will be asked for a value for the `DISPLAY'
293
environment variable to be used in the current S session. If this
294
variable is not set correctly, S will not be able to create any
295
windows under the X windowing environment. Completion is provided
296
over the `X-displays-list' variable; the default is the current
297
value of `DISPLAY'. This feature is useful is you often run S on
298
a different display than that of the machine you are running S
299
from. If `ess-ask-about-display' is `nil', the current value of
300
`DISPLAY' is used.
301
302
- User Option: X-displays-list
303
Default: `'(":0.0")'
304
List of possible values for the `DISPLAY' environment variable,
305
provided for completion when prompting for such a value.

Variables for dump files
311
------------------------
312
313
- User Option: ess-insert-function-templates
314
Default: `t'
315
If this variable has a non-`nil' value, then dumping a
316
non-existent object will result in the edit buffer containing a
317
skeleton function definition, ready for editing.
318
319
- User Option: ess-source-directory
320
Default: `"/tmp/"'
321
Directory name (ending in `/') in which dump files are placed.
322
This should always be a writable directory.
323
324
- User Option: ess-source-directory-generator
325
Default: `nil'
326
Alternative, dynamic method of specifying the directory for dump
327
files.
328
329
- User Option: ess-dump-filename-template
330
Default: USER_NAME`.'OBJECT_NAME`.S'
331
Naming system to use for dumped object files. *Note Source
332
Directories::, for details of this and the previous two variables.
333
334
- User Option: ess-keep-dump-files
335
Default: `nil'
336
Boolean flag signifying whether to keep dump files or to delete
337
them after each use. *Note Source Files::, for more details.

342
Variables controlling indentation
343
---------------------------------
344
345
- User Option: ess-tab-always-indent
346
Default: `t'
347
If non-`nil', then `TAB' in the edit buffer always indents the
348
current line, regardless of the position of point in the line.
349
Otherwise, indentation is only performed if point is in the lines
350
indentation, and a tab character is inserted is point is after the
351
first nonblank character.
352
353
- User Option: ess-auto-newline
354
Default: `nil'
355
Non-`nil' means automatically newline before and after braces
356
inserted in S code.
357
358
The following variables control amounts of indentation. These
359
variables automatically become buffer-local in any ESS buffer, and so
360
setting any of these variables has effect in the current buffer only.
361
362
- User Option: ess-indent-level
363
Default: 2
364
Extra indentation of S statement sub-block with respect to
365
enclosing braces.
366
367
- User Option: ess-brace-imaginary-offset
368
Default: 0
369
Extra indentation (over sub-block indentation) for block following
370
an open brace which follows on the same line as a statement.
371
372
- User Option: ess-brace-offset
373
Default: 0
374
Extra indentation for braces, compared with other text in same
375
context.
376
377
- User Option: ess-continued-statement-offset
378
Default: 0
379
Extra indent for lines not starting new statements.
380
381
- User Option: ess-continued-brace-offset
382
Default: 0
383
Extra indent for substatements that start with open-braces. This
384
is in addition to `ess-continued-statement-offset'.
385
386
- User Option: ess-arg-function-offset
387
Default: 2
388
Extra indent for arguments of function `foo' when it is called as
389
the value of an argument to another function in `arg=foo(...)'
390
form. If not number, the statements are indented at
391
open-parenthesis following `foo'.
392
393
- User Option: ess-expression-offset
394
Default: 4
395
Extra indent for internal substatements of the call to
396
`expression()' specified in
397
`obj <- expression(...)'
398
399
form. If not a number, the statements are indented at
400
open-parenthesis following `expression'.
401
402
- User Option: ess-else-offset
403
Default: 2
404
Extra indentation of the `else' clause with respect to the
405
corresponding `if'.
406
407
In addition, a number of default styles are defined for you (in
408
`ess-style-alist'):
409
410
- User Option: ess-default-style
411
Default: `DEFAULT'
412
The default formatting style to use in edit buffers. The DEFAULT
413
style uses the values of the above indentation variables at
414
load-time, so that changing these variables in your `.emacs' file
415
will affect your buffer defaults. Other styles are: `GNU', `BSD',
416
`K&R', `CLB', and `C++'. See `ess-cust.el' for the complete
417
definitions of the styles. *Note Edit buffer::, for more details.

- User Option: comint-input-ring-size
426
Default: 50
427
Number of commands to store in the command history.
428
429
- User Option: ess-execute-in-process-buffer
430
Default: `nil'
431
If this is `nil', then the `ess-execute-' commands (*note Other::)
432
output to a temporary buffer. Otherwise, the output goes to the
433
ESS process.
434
435
- User Option: ess-eval-visibly-p
436
Default: `nil'
437
If non-`nil', then the `ess-eval-' commands (*note Edit buffer::)
438
echo the S commands in the process buffer by default. In any
439
case, passing a prefix argument to the eval command reverses the
440
meaning of this variable.

Customizing ESS with hooks
446
==========================
447
448
ESS provides the following hooks:
449
450
- Hook: ess-mode-hook
451
Called every time `ESS' is run.
452
453
- Hook: ess-mode-load-hook
454
Called just after the file `ess.el' is loaded. Useful for setting
455
up your keybindings, etc.
456
457
- Hook: ess-pre-run-hook
458
Called before the ESS process is started (e.g., with `M-x S').
459
Good for setting up your directory.
460
461
- Hook: ess-post-run-hook
462
Called just after the ESS process starts up. This can be used to
463
evaluate ESS code at the start of a session, with
464
`ess-eval-visibly', say.
465
466
- Hook: inferior-ess-mode-hook
467
For customizing inferior ess mode. Called after inferior-ess-mode
468
is entered and variables have been initialized.
469
470
- Hook: ess-help-mode-hook
471
Called every time when entering ess-help-mode (i.e., an ESS help
472
buffer is generated).
473
474
- Hook: ess-send-input-hook
475
Called just before line input is sent to the process.
476
477
- Hook: ess-transcript-mode-hook
478
For customizing ESS transcript mode.

Changing the default ESS keybindings
484
====================================
485
486
ESS provides a separate keymaps (keymap variables) for ESS process
487
buffers, edit buffers and for help buffers. The key bindings in the
