editR-unix-app

R script and wrapper shell script (Bash) to run editR in app mode on Linux (rather than a new browser tab). Either provide a filename on the command line, or run without an argument to use the file selection dialog (uses Zenity for Linux/BSD).

Setup

Add export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/editR-unix-app/run_editR to your .bashrc. This will add a command run_editR on the command line.

Alternatively, create a symlink to run_editR in a location already exported to the PATH (e.g., for me, ~/opt/bin/) and possibly renaming it for convenience (e.g. as editr):

• (Assuming export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/bin is in the .bashrc)
• ln -s /path/to/editR-unix-app/run_editR ~/opt/bin/editr

To do

• Create a .desktop file + icon set for launcher
