I havent tried Tinn-R, so Im not going to talk about that, but instead the other two. Both are easy to use, but RKWard is difficult to install in Windows and Mac. Tinn-R is free, simple but efficient replacement for the basic code editor provided by Rgui. Best Video Software for the Mac How To Run MacOS High Sierra or Another OS on Your Mac Best Graphic.

This is because I had some memory size issues in the past. Another question is if some of you know an R editor for Mac (just like Tinn-R). The notion of 'better' is always in the eyes of the useR and will depend upon specific criteria. OSX can run R in both 32 bit and 64 bit modes and indeed the default OSX download for R provided by Simon installs and supports both.
Tinn R For Mac Os X
If you use the 32 bit version, then from a memory management standpoint, you will not see demonstrable gains over Windows. However, with the 64 bit version, you will avail yourself of a much larger memory address space as compared to running 32 bit R on Windows. That of course presumes that you have a lot of RAM in your Mac to actually take advantage of the larger address space. The 64 bit memory address space is also available via Linux, with appropriate hardware. You might want to review the R OSX FAQ: and also note that there is a OSX specific e-mail list: As far as editors, I am not familiar with the details of Tinn-R, but ESS/Emacs is available for OSX and this is what I use (continuing what I had been using on Linux for the past number of years). Others will likely be able to provide other recommendations and you might want to search the R-SIG-Mac list archives as no doubt there have been such discussions in the past.
