[R] where is .emacs file?

[Ulrik Stervbo]

Files starting with dots are hidden files on Mac. The emacs configuration
file .emacs should be in your home directory. You can list all files - also
the hidden ones - by `ls -a` in your console. I don't use Mac so I can't
tell you how to show hidden files in Finder.

If you still can't find the file, you might have better chances by asking
in some Emacs forum.

Alternatively you can use R-studio instead of emacs/ess.

I am trying to install ESS so that it can be used when EMACS is launched
from Mac Terminal.  After running "make" from the directory where ESS files
are saved, the instructions ask the following to be added to .emacs file:

(require 'ess-site)

But I cannot find .emacs file.

I have already installed EMACS modified for ESS from Vincent Goulet's
website.  In my EMACS application, ESS is available (verified by typing M-X
ess-version).

Thanks,
