[ESS] ESS-help Digest, Vol 113, Issue 2

[Quefeng Li]

Hello
Emacs 24-1 comes with elpa, which could easily install packages like ess 
for you.

Add the following to your .emacs
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)
(setq package-archives
'(("ELPA" . "http://tromey.com/elpa/")
   ("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
   ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")))

Then, eval-buffer or restart emacs. Use M-x list-packages to invoke 
elpa. It will give you a long list of available packages. ESS is among 
them. Install ESS from that list, and then

(require 'ess-site)

should load ESS for you.

By the way, the ESS package is installed in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ by default.

Cheers!
