Where are the fix() and edit() functions in RStudio Server?
I followed the official guide to install RStudio Server. Everything works fine, but the functions, fix and edit, are not available.
For instance, I have a data.frame called "data" as follows.
1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9
The command "View(data)" works fine. But when I execute the command "edit(data)" or "fix(data)", it comes some error messages.
The error messages of "fix(data)" :
Error in .External2(C_dataentry, datalist, modes) :
unable to start data editor
In addition: Warning message:
In edit.data.frame(get(subx, envir = parent), title = subx, ...) :
unable to open display
The error message of "edit(data)" :
Error in edit : Editing of data frames and matrixes is not supported in RStudio.
I ran the same codes on my local rstudio (windows 8.1), and all the functions work fine! It's really wired... Anyone can help me? Thanks a lot!
p.s. I read this post already, but it doesn't work for me.

I had the same problem, but then I installed the XQuartz package from here: https://www.xquartz.org/
And then another thread, from a while back, reminded me that I needed to restart my Mac for the x11 app to take effect: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36486555
