Help from DOS Command Prompt

Hello, If you want to do it, you can add "R.exe" in you "Path" variable. Go to "Advanced System Settings", then "Environment Variables". But I'm not sure whether it is the best way to use R under Windows. Regards Le 24/07/2012 13:53, goss a ?crit :

The documentation says to put the *path to* Rterm.exe in your PATH variable. R.exe is only provided for compatibility with other platforms. And BTW, this is the Windows Command Prompt: R does not run under 'DOS'.

For beginners under Windows, running RGui.exe is advisable. I would in addition advise you to set your working directory appropriately (using the menus or setwd) before embarking on significant explorations; avoid using the default save workspace feature (save explicitly if at all); and avoid the use of the "attach" and "detach" functions. Keep a text editor open to build a complete sequence of commands to do your analysis... copy/paste to test each line. A repeatable script means you don't really need to save your workspace at all.

Thank you all, I tried adding to the path variable ...;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64\R.exe I then entered r.exe --help at the Windows Command Prompt I received the same error message: "r.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" I tried many variations or r.exe --help all with the same response. I then tried adding to the path variable: ...;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64\Rterm.exe I receive the same error message when I enter r.exe --help and its derivatives at the Windows Command Prompt.

The PATH variable is a 'path'; you have specified an executable. Try: ...;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64

Jim Holtman Data Munger Guru What is the problem that you are trying to solve? Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
Thanks Jim, I tried ...;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64 and ...;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\bin\x64\ I still receive the same error message.

Can we close this now, please? 1. Learn to write messages to R-help, R-help is not Nabble and we need the whole thread quoted, please. 2. Learn to ask for local help. Any local technician can help you on this - rather than spamming Inboxes of several thousand R-help readers. 3. If you post to R-help again, please learn to specify the full information, i.e. a) have you opened a new Windows command shell after you set the PATH? b) What does "echo %PATH%" return? So please read *and follow* the posting guide. Best, Uwe Ligges
