Trouble with Radian Install

[yepiserin]

I went through the processes outlined here and here, I have a Mac M1 so I installed the arm version of R and did the homebrew process for installing python. I can't get radian to work in VSCode with R, when I finished the set up, all my calls would bring back "Error: Unexpected numeric constant ..." and brought that up in a separate thread here. Troubleshooting got me to the point that it was narrowed down to the radian install and not being able to get a response from terminal with command "radian".

Any tips or advice on how to correct my radian install issue?

Can you clarify your python installation? Are you using conda or some other env manager? In the other thread you showed pip show radian output. Can you supplement that with the outputs of: which python which python3 which pip which pip3 echo $PATH ls /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/ ls /usr/local/bin

[yepiserin]

which python is no result which python3 is /usr/local/bin/python3 which pip is no result which pip3 is /usr/local/bin/pip3 echo $PATH is /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin ls /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/ and ls /usr/local/bin is in screenshot:

Ok, can you try: ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/radian /usr/local/bin/radian

Edit: in case it's not clear, this is all one line above.

Then try to launch radian using radian

[yepiserin]

Using the above, I got this response and still am not able to launch radian: "ln: /usr/local/bin/radian: Permission denied" Thoughts?

Are you an admin account on the computer? Also, can you do: ls -al /usr/local/bin If you don't see something like: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel for radian with the key being r-x, then you may need to try: chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/radian

[yepiserin]

I do have the admin account and am logged in as admin. Running ls -al /usr/local/bin I get lots of results:

Sorry I misread the error. use sudo: sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/radian /usr/local/bin/radian All one line. This will ask for your password.

Then you can check it: ls -al /usr/local/bin/radian

And if you see lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel at the beginning then radian should work from your command prompt to launch radian. Then in VS Code you need to make sure:

{
  "r.bracketedPaste": true,
  "r.rterm.mac": "/usr/local/bin/radian"
}

as described here: https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/Installation:-macOS

Followed these steps, verified that results from terminal returned lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel, updat4ed VSCode but am still getting the same error in trying to use radian, is there anything else you can see that is wrong?:

[psobolewskiPhD]

Is radian launching now for you from the terminal? Because your screenshot still shows vanilla R and not radian, hence the error. Edit: if just radian doesn't work from the terminal, try entering: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/radian

The goal is to actually get radian running. You should see r$> as the prompt.

[yepiserin]

Radian launched! So now I need to change rpath in vscode to the same radian path as rterm?

[psobolewskiPhD]

It's r.rterm.mac that needs to point to radian. This is what is launched in vscode. And you need to ensure that you have the bracketedPaste. r.rpath.mac needs to point to your actual R which also appears to be /usr/local/bin/R

Appears to be working now:
