Sublime Text 2 and R

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"}  
}
Solution

  • 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.
