This guide walks you through installing R, configuring VSCode with the official R extension, and setting up advanced tools like `radian` and interactive plotting. Tailored for macOS, it’s perfect for beginners and pros alike! 😎 --- ### 🛠️ Prerequisites Before we start, ensure these are installed: - **R Programming Language** - Grab R (3.4.0+) from [CRAN](https://cloud.r-project.org/). - Install via Homebrew for the latest: `brew install R`. - **Visual Studio Code** - Download from [VSCode Official](https://code.visualstudio.com/). - **Python (Optional for Radian)** - Usually pre-installed on macOS. If not, use Homebrew: `brew install python` or get it from [Python Official](https://www.python.org/). --- ### 📦 Installing the R Extension Let’s get R running in VSCode! 1. Open VSCode. 2. Hit `Cmd+Shift+X` to open the Extensions view. 3. Search for "R" and install **R by REditorSupport** from the [VSCode Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=REditorSupport.r). - **Note**: Stick with REditorSupport.r—it’s the official, community-backed choice over alternatives like Ikuyadeu.r. --- ### ⚙️ Setting Up the R Environment Time to prep R with essential packages! 1. **Install `languageserver`** - Open an R console (type `R` in Terminal or VSCode’s terminal). - Run: ```R install.packages("languageserver", repos="https://cran.r-project.org") ``` - This powers autocompletion and diagnostics. 2. **Install Bleeding-Edge Packages** - Boost functionality with these GitHub-hosted goodies: - `rmarkdown` (R Markdown support): ```R remotes::install_github("rstudio/rmarkdown") ``` - `httpgd` (Interactive plots): ```R remotes::install_github("nx10/httpgd") ``` - Install `remotes` first if needed: ```R install.packages("remotes") ``` - **Optional**: Install Pandoc for `rmarkdown` rendering from [Pandoc Official](https://pandoc.org/installing.html). --- ### 🔧 Configuring VSCode for R Let’s tweak VSCode for an epic R experience! Access settings with `Cmd+,`. #### **Basic Configuration** 1. **Enable Bracketed Paste** - Makes pasting into the R terminal smooth: ```json "r.bracketedPaste": true ``` 2. **Set R Terminal Path** - Point to your R executable (default for CRAN R): ```json "r.rterm.mac": "/usr/local/bin/R" ``` - Check your path with `which R` in Terminal. 3. **Radian Setup (Enhanced Terminal)** - Radian brings syntax highlighting and auto-completion. - Install it: ```bash pip install -U git+https://github.com/randy3k/radian.git ``` - Configure VSCode: ```json "r.rterm.mac": "/usr/local/bin/radian", "terminal.integrated.env.osx": { "R_HOME": "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources", "R_BIN": "/usr/local/bin/R" }, "r.bracketedPaste": true, "r.radian.colorScheme": "monokai", // Optional: Fancy colors! "r.radian.autoMatch": true // Auto-close brackets ``` - Verify paths: `which radian` and `R RHOME`. #### **Advanced Configuration** Here’s a compact yet detailed setup for power users: ```json { "r.sessionWatcher": true, // Monitors R session for autocompletion "r.lsp.diagnostics": true, // Enables linting with lintr "r.plot.useHttpgd": true, // Interactive plotting with httpgd "r.alwaysSaveHistory": true, // Saves R command history "r.lsp.debug": false // Disable debug logs unless troubleshooting } ``` - **R Session Watcher**: Tracks your workspace for smarter autocompletion ([Session Watcher Wiki](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/R-Session-watcher)). - **Diagnostics**: Uses `lintr` for tidyverse-style linting. - **Plotting**: Requires `httpgd` installed. --- ### 📋 Complete `r.code-workspace` File Here’s a fully organized workspace file with all settings! ```json { "folders": [ { "path": "." } ], "settings": { // R Basics "r.rterm.mac": "/usr/local/bin/radian", "r.bracketedPaste": true, "terminal.integrated.env.osx": { "R_HOME": "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources", "R_BIN": "/usr/local/bin/R" }, // Radian Enhancements "r.radian.colorScheme": "monokai", "r.radian.autoMatch": true, // Advanced Features "r.sessionWatcher": true, "r.lsp.diagnostics": true, "r.plot.useHttpgd": true, "r.alwaysSaveHistory": true, "r.lsp.debug": false, // Formatting "[r]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "REditorSupport.r", "editor.formatOnSave": true }, "[rmd]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "REditorSupport.r", "editor.formatOnSave": true } } } ``` --- ### 💻 Working with R - **Run Code**: Hit `Cmd+Enter` to send code to the terminal. - **Projects**: Use `renv` for dependency management ([renv Wiki](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/Working-with-renv-enabled-projects)): ```R remotes::install_github("rstudio/renv") ``` - **Terminal**: Enjoy `radian` or stick with the default ([R Terminals Wiki](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/Interacting-with-R-terminals)). --- ### 🎨 Interactive Features - **Plots**: View interactive plots with `httpgd` ([Interactive Viewers Wiki](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/Interactive-viewers)). - **Data Viewers**: Explore datasets in VSCode. --- ### 🧹 Code Linting & Formatting 1. **Linting** - Install `lintr`: ```R remotes::install_github("r-lib/lintr") ``` - Enable: ```json "r.lsp.diagnostics": true ``` 2. **Formatting** - Install `styler`: ```R remotes::install_github("r-lib/styler") ``` - Add to settings: ```json "[r]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "REditorSupport.r", "editor.formatOnSave": true } ``` --- ### 🐞 Troubleshooting - **R Terminal Missing**: Check `r.rterm.mac` with `which R` or `which radian`. - **Plot Issues**: Confirm `httpgd` and `"r.plot.useHttpgd": true`. - **Language Server Fails**: Reinstall `languageserver` or verify R path. - See [macOS Notes](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/Installation:-macOS). --- ### 🌐 Resources - [VSCode R Docs](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/r) - [REditorSupport Wiki](https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki) - [Radian GitHub](https://github.com/randy3k/radian)
