rscript

Where can I install Rscript from? I need to run an R script from a php file using exec. However I need to install Rscript first. Search the ubuntu repositories . Have you checked the littler package? The main package for R is called r-base . For the scripting and command-line front-end see littler (or r-cran-littler in xenial (16.04LTS) and beyond): sudo apt-get install littler The answers posted so far are generally useful, but they don't directly answer the question. I recently had the same question and discovered there is no rscript binary for Ubuntu. The r binary itself is used to execute

I am facing problems running a Rscript via Python using os.system() or subprocess(). Using os.system() to run commands via python works generally fine for me (e.g. with gdalwarp.exe) but not with Rscript.exe. The only difference I can see are spaces in the path. Avoiding problems with spaces in the path are easy overcome in the CMD-window by putting the paths in quotation marks. Executing the following command is successfull. "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.2/bin/Rscript.exe" "D:/.../otsu_Script.R" But I am stuck with Python. What I tried so far with python: os.system("C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.2/bin

I am trying to get summary to not wrap its output. However, when I call summary with 5 columns of data, it places the 5th column on a separate row. I am hoping there is a way that's easier than manually printing iterating over the object returned by summary. Best Regards, Joseph plotit.r #!/usr/bin/Rscript noneData <- read.csv("query.log", header=FALSE, sep="\t"); cnames = c( 'vids', 'partitions', 'localvert', 'remotevert', 'cachehits', 'responsetime' ); colnames(noneData) <- cnames; cachenames = c('1', '2', '3', '4', '5'); responseCompare = data.frame( noneData$responsetime/1000000, noneData

I'm trying to load a library in an Rscript, but it's giving me a strange error. I'm running the 2.12.1 version of the Rscript binary, yet it complains that my package was built under version 2.12.1. Any idea what's going on here? [17:55:13 trash] $ ./tmp.R Loading required package: blah Error: (converted from warning) package 'blah' was built under R version 2.12.1 [17:55:47 trash] $ cat tmp.R #!/path/to/R/2.12.1/bin/Rscript --quiet library(blah) I figured it out with help from comments by @aL3xa and @Iterator. When I run whereis Rscript , I get: Rscript: /usr/bin/Rscript /usr/bin/X11/Rscript

I recently installed a local version of R 3.1.0 on a Linux Redhat server as follows: # from R-3.1.0 directory ./configure --prefix=$(pwd) make make install In addition, I've updated PATH and R_LIBS in my .bashrc. If I run path/to/local/R/bin/Rscript --version , then it returns the proper version number. However, if I give it a test script that prints sessionInfo it yields information from the system-wide R installation. Is there any more I need to do to run the local version of R using Rscript? From reading a similar issue here , it looks like the code above should be all that's necessary.

I need to run several scripts via the bash shell using Rscript and some functions I use require the function isGeneric . However, in this case the process end like that (for example): Error in .getLogLik() : could not find function "isGeneric" Calls: main -> dredge -> .getLik -> .getLogLik Execution halted This can be reproduced as follows # in the bash shell echo "isGeneric('apply')" > /tmp/test.R Rscript /tmp/test.R Result: Error: could not find function "isGeneric" Execution halted However, if we open a R session and type the following, it works: # in the R shell isGeneric('apply') [1]

I am automating some webscraping with R in cron and sometimes I use R CMD BATCH and sometimes I use Rscript . To decide which one to use I mainly focus if I want the .Rout file or not. But reading the answers to some questions here in SO (like this or this ) it seems that Rscript is preferred to R CMD BATCH . So my questions are: Besides the fact that the syntax is a little different and R CMD BATCH saves an .Rout file while Rscript does not, what are the main differences between the two of them? When should I prefer one over another? More specifically, in the cron job above mentioned, is one
