For -your convenience, you can find such a file -[here](http://raw.githubusercontent.com/jranke/gmkin/master/Rprofile). -On Windows, you can save this file to the directory where you would like to -start gmkin by right clicking on the link to this file, choose 'save target as' -or similar, and choose `.Rprofile.` as the name (yes, there are two dots, one in the beginning, -one in the end). This will lead to the creation of a file named `.Rprofile` -which will be executed when you start R within this directory, e.g. by creating -a shortcut that starts R in this directory (see [How do I install R for -Windows?](http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#How-do-I-install-R-for-Windows_003f), -and [How do I run -it?](http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#How-do-I-run-it_003f)). +into an R script (e.g. under `C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\gmkin_start.R`), +and create a Windows shortcut, e.g. on the Desktop, with the target +`"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.x.y\bin\R.exe" --slave -f c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\gmkin_start.R`, +where R.x.y is the version of R that you would like to use with gmkin. This +will start a non-interactive R console that runs the gmkin GUI. In the +properties dialogue of the shortcut, you can also set the working directory in +which it starts gmkin. Thanks to Jonas Klein of the Umweltbundesamt for the +trick with using Sys.sleep in a while loop and for suggesting the AppData +directory for the start script. + +## Acknowledgements + +Financial support, feedback and suggestions by the German Federal Environmental +Agency ([Umweltbundesamt](http://www.umweltbundesamt.de)) in two projects in +2014 and 2015 was crucial for reaching version 0.6.3 in November 2015 and is +gratefully acknowledged. |
