Setting PATH in .Renviron

RStudio has a different PATH from bash’s, which can lead command not found when calling system() or system2(). You can set the PATH for RStudio in .Renviron file like this:

PATH=/additional/path:${PATH}

Note that curly braces are required.

Installing Local Packages:

First, open the R Project of the package in RStudio. At the Build panel, first ‘Check’ and then ‘Build Source Package’

Then, at the command line:

R CMD INSTALL /path/to/package.tar.gz && rm /path/to/package.tar.gz

Alternatively, using devtools:

devtools::install_local('/path/to/package')
