Re: [R] Rtools required
Thank you all. In sum, installing packages from RStudio 1.2.5042 without
Rtools present, I received warnings saying RTools required but
installation nevertheless was successful.
Installing from R-4.0.0 directly, I have no problem.
This is obviously an RStudio problem but unfortunately they are not
willing to help free version users. I feel so sorry having to post it here.
===
1. IN RStudio I reun the following to install from CRAC and from local a
file, respectively:
Tools -> Install Packages -> (Choose Repository CRAN from pull-down menu)
Tools -> Install Packages -> (Packages, Archice, Files (.zip; .tar.gz)
from pull-down menu)
In both cases, I received warning messages saying Rtools is required...
but nevertheless the installation is successful.
2. Installing from R-4.0.0 directly, installation were successful
without warning.

That looks OK. Did you restart rstudio?
How exactly are getting this error? Are you using install.packages()
in R? Or using the pkgbuild package?
Also are you running the latest version of rstudio? I think old
versions may have had difficulty finding rtools40.

Re: [R] Rtools required
Minimize the number of referenced contributed packages, and inform your
students that they can (should?) opt to not install from source when prompted.
In fact, this could be a use case where using the checkpoint package could help
you manage version conflicts ... once you find a time point for which all of
the packages you want them to use seem to play well together, then they can
invoke the checkpoint and be on the same page with you.
Of course, you will have to make other sacrifices, like using an older version
of R (I don't think the MRAN historical package archive is keeping up) and not
having access to some cool stuff from recent advances in package features, but
there aren't many options that can keep 15000+ packages all working and
bugfixed in sync.

Re: [R] Rtools required
I think you probably wrote to the wrong place at RStudio. You won't get
help from their help desk without a paid license for the software, but
they run community forums (similar in aim to this mailing list) where
community members are often pretty helpful.
In any case, this is the wrong place to ask for help on RStudio.

Re: [R] Rtools required
Good point, but I am bothered by the non-discrimatory warning message to
all package installation attempts. My students install mostly binary
files, and I just hate to have them install Rtools. For one, they have
not had to do so until after RStudio-1.1.463. The fact that using this
older RStudio can avoid the annoying warning message speaks volume.

That looks OK. Did you restart rstudio?
How exactly are getting this error? Are you using install.packages()
in R? Or using the pkgbuild package?
Also are you running the latest version of rstudio? I think old
versions may have had difficulty finding rtools40.

Re: [R] Rtools required
I just encountered something that looks exactly like that with R
4.0.0 and the latest RStudio AND with Rtools40 installed under Windows
10 (AND some manual adjustment of the path to delete references to old
versions of Rtools and make sure Rtools40 was there).
I got around it by have Rtools40 installed AND running
"install.packages('xmlw')" inside R 4.0.0 inside a CMD prompt. That
worked, even though the same command inside RStudio failed with:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build an R package but no version of
Rtools compatible with the currently running version of R was found.
Note that the following incompatible version(s) of Rtools were found:
- Rtools 3.5 (installed at C:\Rtools).
I got this message after deleting references to C:\Rtools from
the path and rebooting.
*** I BELIEVE YOU NEED Rtools40 installed, because binaries for some
packages are not (yet) available for R 4.0.0.
Hope this helps.

Re: [R] Rtools required
Careful so you don't overwrite an existing ~/.Renviron file; it's safer to
use something like:
cat('PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\usr\\bin;${PATH}"\n', file="~/.Renviron"
append=TRUE)

Re: [R] Rtools required
Dear Steven,
It's possible that Windows will hide .Renviron, but it's generally a good idea,
in my opinion, in Folder Options > View to click "Show hidden files" and
uncheck "hide extensions". Then .Renviron should show up (once you've created
it).
Best,
John

Start with ?INSTALL, and find more details in the Writing R Extensions
manual. I believe RStudio can be configured to use those tools rather
than the devtools ones, but I don't know if it will still run its test
for Rtools if you do it that way.
I imagine you can also update RStudio and all of your packages;
eventually that will work, if this is really the issue.

Re: [R] Rtools required
I do not exactly know what is going on with your problem but it is better
to use the old-school method to install the package so that you can avoid
any problems with Rstudio.
>From your post, I guess you are using Windows, so please see this link for
how to add the Rtools and R to the environment variable PATH:
https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
Then go to the command prompt, here is how:
https://www.howtogeek.com/235101/10-ways-to-open-the-command-prompt-in-windows-10/
Type R and enter. If you can see welcome information from R, that means at
least you have correctly added R into PATH. Check whether the R version is
4.0
Type "q()" to quit R, then go to the directory where your package is. For
example, if your package is in "D:\packages\mypackage", go to
"D:\packages\".
Type "R CMD INSTALL mypackage", replace mypackage with the true folder
name of your package.
If everything is correct, you should be able to install the package. If you
get the same error, type "echo %PATH%" and post here so we can know exactly
what is going on.
Best,
Jiefei

Start with ?INSTALL, and find more details in the Writing R Extensions
manual. I believe RStudio can be configured to use those tools rather
than the devtools ones, but I don't know if it will still run its test
for Rtools if you do it that way.
I imagine you can also update RStudio and all of your packages;
eventually that will work, if this is really the issue.

Also, where can I find file .Renviron.

Do it the standard way instead of using devtools.

The first command writes the modification to your path in the .Renviron file in
your home directory, which should be executed at the start of each R session. I
assume that you executed the second command in a fresh session, and it
indicates that the Rtools are indeed accessible.
Given that, I don't know why you're still having a problem, assuming that you
tried to build the package in a fresh session *after* you created .Renviron.
Sorry I can't be of more help,
John

Re: [R] Rtools required
Dear Steven,
Did you follow the instruction on the Rtools webpage to add
PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\usr\bin;${PATH}"
to your .Renviron file?
I hope this helps,
John
