Thank you! These instructions were so clear and worked perfectly. I'd spent half an hour trying to figure it out using various other website with no success before I found your excellent video.
Thank you, love your instructions for Rtools, its was simple and perfect, without any glitch i was able to installed. Before that I spend lots of time on other websites. Great video.
Hi, I have R,Rstudio and rtools installed in a specific location on my D: drive. Probably why I get the response "" from Sys.which("make"). Have you released a video of how you install Rtools on different Hard drives / places in your PC? Can't seem to find any form of tutorial online.
Great video, worked for me! I was wondering why you don't use install.packages("Rcpp", type = "source"), just because if I add the type = "source" it gives me a warning In install.packages("Rcpp", type = "source") : installation of package ‘Rcpp’ had non-zero exit status
While I got the result, it did have a warning message stating "package ‘Rcpp’ was built under R version 4.1.2". Is that a problem or do I just ignore it?
Great question, that indicates your version of R is out of date. As a rule of thumb, you generally are fine with running a binary built on the same minor patch line, e.g. `4.1.z`. However, you may wish to upgrade if you are running on `4.0.z` or `3.6.z`.
Hello, thanks for the video! I got stuck at the sys.which("make") step; i got the error: could not find function "says.which". Do you know what I should do?
Note, the error indicates that the function name was typed incorrectly. Please copy and paste the following command: Sys.which("make") This should give you the correct path.
Few quick questions: 1. 1:30: Did you use a custom Rtools path during the installation? 2. 2:55: Did you write the information to the ~/.Renviron file requested?
That's really outside of the scope of this video. Not sure this will work; so, use at your own risk. But, have you tried something along the lines of a Dockerfile with: ---- FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022 COPY rtools42-5355-5357.exe C: tools42-5355-5357.exe RUN Start-Process -filepath 'C: tools42-5355-5357.exe' -Wait -PassThru -ArgumentList "/s" --- Note: This assumes you download the rtools installer and place it right next to the doccker file. This is something similar to what MS does within their container images for DOT net. github.com/microsoft/navcontainerhelper/blob/9ab94f4061d070ef871ef98c04931ff16bfa8419/ContainerHandling/New-NavImage.ps1#L481
Few quick questions: 1. 1:30: Did you use a custom Rtools path during the installation? 2. 2:55: Did you write the information to the ~/.Renviron file requested? 3. 3:29: Did you close and restart the R session?
Thanks, really appreciate this video. It didn't work for me though. Everything was fine up until the Sys.which() command which returned ' make "" ' instead of the ' make "C:\ tools\\..." ' shown in the video. The .Renviron file appeared in my documents OK, and the folder is there in the C:/ drive, but R couldn't find make it seems. It is a work laptop, is it possibly to do with needing admin permission to add variables to environment path? (Asking here very speculatively, any help anyone can give appreciated...)
Given that it is a work laptop, this likely means that IT installed Rtools in a non-standard location, e.g. not at the root of the C drive ~ `C:/rtools40/usr`. What happens when you navigate to the C drive? Do you see the folder there? You could also try within R: list.dir("C:/") That said, the ~/.Renviron file will automatically set the correct PATH variable.
@@euanritchie2047 A couple of quick follow-up questions: 1. Did you restart the R session? 2. Is ~/.Renviron found in either: `C:\Users\` or `Documents`? 3. Is the install on Windows 10 or another operating system?

I tried this, but my console said that my version of r couldn't support rccp, so I updated everything in the console and now it's telling me that the installing packages function is not available. How can I get around this?
Make sure to update to the latest version of R. At the time of writing, that should be R 4.1. Please see: ua-cam.com/video/0jlMXPMoiOg/v-deo.html Also, the package name is Rcpp. Did you type it in that way?

Great video, i love the last section with the Rcpp library in order to corroborate that Rtools is properly working :)

My version of r is 4.2.2 but it gives warning about package Rcpp is not available for this version of R , It may be elsewhere..
What should I do ??
Great video, worked for me! I was wondering why you don't use
install.packages("Rcpp", type = "source"),
just because if I add the type = "source" it gives me a warning
In install.packages("Rcpp", type = "source") :
installation of package ‘Rcpp’ had non-zero exit status
No need to install from source as CRAN provides Windows binaries. Plus, the real test is whether Rcpp::evalCpp("1+1") can be run.
I am 2 hours into Rtools being installed... I'm not sure if I did something wrong in the first steps. Any ideas on how to speed it up?
Unfortunately, there are a lot of files. If the computer is a bit old, the installation process might take awhile.
While I got the result, it did have a warning message stating "package ‘Rcpp’ was built under R version 4.1.2". Is that a problem or do I just ignore it?

I have the following error : evalCpp("1 + 1")

Moha, this video is only focused on installing Rtools in the default C:/ path.
wheneever I type in Sys.which("make"), I get no Path at all just a set of double quotes ("") which suggests there is no path?? help??
Few quick questions:
1. 1:30: Did you use a custom Rtools path during the installation?
2. 2:55: Did you write the information to the ~/.Renviron file requested?
@@thecoatlessprofessor7674 I solved it! No I had to add the path manually in the enviroment variables
hi, is it possible to install rtools in the docker container instead of your local machine?
That's really outside of the scope of this video.
Not sure this will work; so, use at your own risk. But, have you tried something along the lines of a Dockerfile with:
