But it would also hold vice-versa: prepending the windows system PATH with the rtools utilities could have undesired side-effects for other software relying on the path.įor these reasons, the best way to set the PATH for R is in your ~/.Renviron file. The main problem is that other Windows programs may also attempt to do this (Strawberry Perl for example) and hence if those programs are installed after rtools, they may mask the rtools utilities from the PATH. This was problematic for several reasons: Some versions of rtools in the past would automatically alter the global windows system PATH variable and add the rtools path. Please see instructions in: Why does Rtools not put itself on the PATH automatically? By default, R for Windows installs the precompiled binary packages from CRAN, for which you do not need rtools. You only need Rtools if you want to compile R packages from source that contain C/C++/Fortran.
The latest builds of rtools4 contain 3 toolchains:
Rtools is the toolchain bundle that is used on Windows to build R base and R packages that contain compiled code. This complements the official R-FAQ from CRAN. These are some common issues related to installing R packages on Windows with Rtools.
