I'm working with R for a while, and I always worked with Rstudio, I tried just now to run a Rscript command in terminal (I have a mac..) and I got this error-
>Rscript script.R
-bash: Rscript: command not found
when I tried to open R in the terminal I go the same error-
>R
-bash: R: command not found
I can run R code with the Rstudio and the R application, but I know there is a way to run R throw the terminal.
Did I miss something when I installed R on my computer? do I need to add R to my PATH?
thanks in advance!
Steps to run R script through Windows command prompt
- Set the
PATH
variable for Rscript.exe
in the environment variables. Rscript.exe
can be found inside bin
folder of R
. Set the path for Rscript.exe
to use Rscript
command in Windows command prompt. To check if Rscript.exe
has been set environmentally or not, type Rscript
in command prompt. The follwoing message should come.
- Go to Command Prompt, set the path where your
.R
file is there.
- Run the following command: Here
abcd.R
is present under Documents
folder. So I set path and then run Rscript abcd.R
