No, well as long as we are talking about base R, which we should be
talking about on this list. R automatically adds Rtools to PATH when it
is needed there. R knows which version of Rtools it needs (R 4.2 uses
Rtools42, R 4.3 uses Rtools43, R-devel currently uses Rtools43 but that
will change before R 4.4 is released).
More details are in
