How do I run R (Rscript) from the Command Line?
If you tried to use the Rscript
command to run R from the command line, you might have gotten this result:
Command 'Rscript' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install r-base-core
Please ask your administrator.
Rscript
itself is a part of the R
suite of tools, which can be loaded using the module system.
module load R
This will load the default version of R on the Yens. To see all of the versions you can load, use module avail
and pick the specific version you wish to load, e.g.:
module load R/4.0.0
At this point, Rscript
will be available in your path to call R scripts from the command line:
Rscript foo.R
