[GRASS-user] Trouble calling R from GRASS on Mac

[Nicklas Larsson]

Tom,

UPDATE:
while the procedure described before works, it skips some good to have settings of GRASS environment (set with Grass.sh startup script), therefore:

replace all instances of
"/Applications/GRASS-7.8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/grass78"
with
"/Applications/GRASS-7.8.app/Contents/MacOS/Grass.sh"

and we're good to go.

Tom,


There is a limitation presently in the GRASS-X.X.app startup script, i.e. forcing the user into a bash session and resetting of PATH. I hope to fix this in future releases. However, that doesn't place us in a helpless situation.

Assuming you start GRASS in Finder: (1) start GRASS session, (2) in Terminal enter
"open /Applications/R.app" for R GUI version or
"/usr/local/bin/R" for R command line version.

If you wish to stay in zsh, then start GRASS in Terminal with: "/Applications/GRASS-7.8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/grass78". Then open R in the same way as above

If the second alternative is the more appealing, you may wish to simplify by making a GRASS link to /usr/local/bin:
"sudo ln -s /Applications/GRASS-7.8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/grass78 /usr/local/bin/ grass78".
Assuming you have /usr/local/bin/ in your path, then entering "grass78" alternatively "grass78 --gui" in Terminal is all you need to start GRASS.

Best,
Nicklas

I can launch R from the default Mac zsh terminal window, but R will not launch from the GRASS bash shell… however, at a zsh prompt, I can startup bash, and R launches as expected fmo the bash prompt.
